HUNGER IS A YEAR-ROUND PROBLEM
While we naturally think of providing turkeys at Thanksgiving so those in need may enjoy a traditional holiday meal, the truth is that many working-poor families need help keeping food on the table throughout the year. And this year, Foodshare is honoring 3 decades of service to our hungry neighbors with A Turkey and Thirty. Your donation of a turkey and $30 will ensure families receive a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and healthy, nutritious meals the rest of the year. For stories, pictures and more on this year’s events, check out our President’s Blog.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
 Thanks to the generosity of individuals, groups and local businesses, we have reached our 2012 turkey and cash goals! But there are still plenty of opportunities to participate to ensure our work continues the rest of the year:
- Join our turkey club, and help us get a head start on Thanksgiving next year!
- Share your stories with us so that we can celebrate your accomplishments and show others how they can help!
- Become a volunteer! We need volunteers year-round to help with our ongoing work to end hunger.
- Visit Foodshare...we are always happy to meet our supporters in person and we'll even offer you a tour!
