Families who are struggling with hunger this time of year are also facing other difficulties. Their heaters are holding at a lower temperature to keep costs down. Parents are trying to find the right words to explain to their kids why they didn’t get as many gifts as their friends. Children are worried about winter break because their family doesn’t have enough food. Through our eight direct service programs and our Partner Agencies we are working to reach everyone struggling with hunger this holiday season, but we need your support!
Here’s how you can help this holiday season:
DONATE FINANCIALLY
Financial donations can go a long way to help! For every $25 donation, we can provide 75 meals to families in need. Hunger knows no season and we work year round to reach our neighbors in need. We cannot successfully do that without financial support. If you are making donations on behalf of someone for the holidays, we have cards available for order. You can find more information here.
NEW! Virtual Food Drive
We have made food drives easy with our new online food drive software. From the comfort and safety of your home, you can help us fight hunger by donating online. Follow the link below now!
DONATE THE FIXINGS
We are also looking to collect shelf-stable food items. Along with some holiday staples, we are in need of some of the most requested items:
- Stuffing
- Canned Green Beans
- Canned Corn
- Canned Fruit
- Peanut Butter
- Canned Tuna or Chicken
For your convenience, we have put together a holiday flier and poster to help advertise your food drive. Click on the links below to download now:
DONATE TURKEYS
We made our goal! Our incredible community helped us exceed our goal of 5,500 turkeys so our nonprofit agency partners could have the food the need for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals! Thank you to everyone who donated a turkey to help bring a little bit of comfort and joy to our neighbors on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
