Circle of Concern: Holiday Support

Help bring joy to a family this holiday season.

The holiday season is just around the corner and we’re reminded that while food on the table brings comfort and sustenance, it’s the memories we make around the table that stand out. For many of the families we serve, however, the holidays can be a difficult reminder of what’s out of reach.

That’s where you come in.

With your help, we can bring joy, relief and a sense of normalcy to area families through our Holiday Extras Program.

Each holiday season, we provide families not only nourishing foods, but also retail gift cards enabling them to purchase something special for each family member. For parents struggling to make ends meet, gift cards represent more than dollars. Gift cards bring opportunity to shop for, and choose the items that will bring joy to their families. Perhaps that’s a toy for a toddler that helps him learn, winter athletic gear for a budding soccer star, or the first item on their little girl’s holiday wish list.

Here’s how you can help:

• A gift of $50 can give a child, or a struggling senior a magical holiday.

• A gift of $200 supports a family of four with holiday cheer.

• Any amount you give can bring light to those who need it most.
