"Meat" the Moment
In past years, generous in-kind donations have ensured that every family we serve could enjoy a full, festive holiday meal. This year, due to cuts at the federal level, there will be fewer holiday food donations to help stock our neighbors’ shelves—right when the need is highest.
These cuts affect the families we serve, hunger-relief agencies like pantries and food banks, farmers, and other individuals in the food ecosystem.
We’re projecting to serve 5000 households at our food pantry in November and December (more than a 15% increase from last year). Without quick action, we can’t meet the demand for holiday staples like turkey and ham, fresh produce like squash and apples, and other seasonal favorites. We need to raise $67,524 to meet this goal!
By making a gift today, you’ll help us put full holiday meals on the table for families, older adults, and children across our community. $25 provides a turkey or ham for 2 people. $50 provides 50+traditional sides, and $100 gives 5 families a full meal with all the fixings for the holidays.
Your gift will go even further with a dollar-for-dollar match up to $33,500 thanks to the support of the Beyond Hunger holiday helpers. Help us "meat" the moment.
