Last Saturday, we teamed up with our friends at Mission Lane to spread some cheer and help make sure our Central Virginia neighbors have healthy food for wholesome holiday meals, and the volunteer day exceeded every expectation.
The result: 1,950 boxes packed full of nonperishable holiday staples. That was 500 boxes above our target.
This support comes at a crucial time. With high gas, grocery, childcare, housing and healthcare costs stretching household budgets to their breaking points, this time of year can be especially challenging for families who are already working hard to make ends meet. That means more neighbors are turning to Feed More’s network for food assistance, making it important to find new ways to get wholesome food into the communities we serve.
So thank you, Mission Lane, for showing up ready to make a big difference for the families, individuals and seniors we serve. We couldn’t have done it without you.
More Saturday packing sessions are coming over the next several weekends leading up to the holidays, so stay tuned.
