"We have raised $10,000 to provide a festive feast for 127 families in this special season!"

Read Time:2 Minute

Hello Friends,

For many families, coming together over a full meal is one of the cherished moments of the day - and the dinner table is the hub of family energy and life. Unfortunately, a lot of families have been robbed of that joy this year during the Covid-19 Pandemic - where survival has meant making do with less or even doing without entirely.

Whilst we have previously done food drives to provide families with two full weeks of groceries, this Holiday season we wanted to focus our efforts on reclaiming the joy of coming together as a family around the dinner table for as many families in our community as possible.

To this end, we are excited to announce that we are partnering with Fresh Prep to deliver a festive feast to 100 families this holiday season. Fresh Prep is a local meal kit company that delivers pre-portioned, pre-chopped ingredients in sanitized reusable cooler bags, with recyclable packaging to help families cook delicious meals made from local ingredients in 30 minutes or less. They have also given us an in-kind donation of $1,400 towards our outreach! Thank you Fresh Prep team for helping us and your dedication to helping local communities like ours!
