~ eNews ~

During the past year we provided 476 food hampers. That thanks to your continued support and generosity during 2021 we fed 667 adults & 389 children. We had 27 first-time users. We fed 46% more children in 2021 than in 2020.  We saw an increase in need of 25%.

We continue to see the numbers trend upward. January 2022 we did 39 hampers & fed 77 adults & 45 children.  We are feeding more families than ever. 

Sky-rocketing inflation, increases in the cost of utilities, gas & food are affecting everyone.  Regardless of income level, all of us are feeling the pinch & those who have stretched their dollar as far as possible need our help to get through these tough times.

We are able to provide this care because we are part of such a caring, sharing community.

Your Support Means Everything. 

THANK YOU!
