stretch our dollars that far is because of food and financial donations and the countless
volunteers that receive, sort, stock and help distribute the food each week.
This time of year is always a challenge – it is not far from the holidays, usage is up due to the
school vacations (child home and childcare costs are up in addition to more in the household
longer periods of the day), not to mention fixed incomes and higher prices of gasoline… it all
effects the household budget and people do not have many other areas they can cut back so
the food budget tends to take the hardest hit.
Your support reassures me that you remember people are hungry year round. Homelessness
does not take a holiday and advocating for the needs of others never rests. Your gift is
needed and never taken for granted.
Someone’s life will get better because you care and choose to help.
