2023 Holiday Food Drive for Feed The Need Durham!
Food scarcity has been on the rise as we enter the holiday season. While this time of year is typically full of celebrations with loved ones, some may be struggling now more than ever.
For this year's holiday drive Nicole and I wanted to work together and help support Feed The Need Durham. This charity collects donations to provide a distribution hub to supply food and more to local food banks, shelters, meal programs, in-school nutritional programs, and more.
Feed The Need Durham has created a Holiday Wishlist in order to better support its communities. This list includes:
Canned Protein - (tuna, salmon, meat, peanut butter, baked beans)
Canned Fruit & Vegetables - ((pasta sauce, canned veggies, canned fruit)
Breakfast Food - (oatmeal, cereal, jam, syrup, pancake mix)
Healthy Snacks - (granola bars, juice boxes, fruit cups, apple sauce, crackers)
Hygiene Items - (shampoo, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste)
Please feel free to place any donations you wish to bring into our bin in the reception area when you come for your appointment.
We also understand that not everyone will be able to contribute for their own reasons, and that is okay. We have no expectations for donations and only ask you to find your own way to pass along kindness this holiday season.
Don't have an appointment and you'd still like to contribute? Feel free to reach out to us and we will either coordinate a time that works for you to drop off your donation.
And as a Thank You to all our wonderful clients who have trusted us with their care over this last year, and have supported us in our move to the new location, we are also holding a Holiday Gift Basket Giveaway! Nicole & I will both have our own baskets (two in total) that you can enter to win.
