Happy Holidays from the Food Bank

December 2010

Together we make a difference!

Hand in hand, we partner to bring hope to the hungry.

Your generous support helped 8,873 people enjoy a meal for Thanksgiving.

Greetings!

This economic climate has allowed us to bring our mission into sharper focus and realize that we exist because of the good will and generosity of this community. Your support puts food on the table for families struggling to make ends meet and has a direct impact upon the well being and quality of life for many people. Thanks for being a part of that!

We just finished our annual turkey box program for Thanksgiving and helped a record 8,873 people enjoy a holiday meal, an increase of 36% from last year. We appreciate everyone who donated to the "Turkeys Tackling Hunger" campaign to pay for turkeys and food for the boxes.

People often ask us how the slow economy is impacting the Food Bank. Read a letter from Jerry Gracy, our Executive Director, detailing the Status of the Food Bank for 2010.
