Summer Giving – May 30, 2025
Our summer giving campaign was a success! We distributed support to 84 food-insecure families through our incredible school counselors and social workers.
Thanks to your generosity, those families received:
-
Over $60,000 in grocery gift cards
-
Heartfelt notes of encouragement from the community
-
A custom Summer Resource Guide to help them navigate the months ahead
-
A way to reach out for emergency food support during the summer
This is the largest amount of summer support we’ve ever provided—a true testament to what’s possible when people care deeply and act boldly.
