Sharing a nourishing meal with your loved ones is extra special during the holidays.
Gathering around a table of warm food helps warm the heart. But unfortunately, not everyone has the food they need to thrive this holiday season.
You can help create a season filled with kindness, warmth and nourishing meals for local families by supporting the Foodbank this holiday season. Together, let’s help warm the hearts of our neighbors in need, one nourishing meal at a time.
The Holiday Campaign supports our neighbors.
Meet Jacqueline.
We meet Jacqueline on a cold winter morning. It is just below 10 degrees outside — the windchill makes it feel subzero — but school is still in session, so Jacqueline wrangles the rambunctious 4-year-old she regularly takes care of and heads to her local food pantry.
