Project Holiday meal distribution began earlier this week, and on day one we served 198 households!
We're 60% of the way to our goal to feed 1,500 households this week. A $30 gift provides a local family a home-cooked holiday meal together.

Project Holiday is just a few days away, and we’re looking for volunteers to deliver meals to local families. This is one of the most meaningful (and fun!) ways to give back.
