While many families are considering what recipes to try and presents to buy this holiday season, there are far too many of our neighbors who don't know where their next meal will come from. CommUnity Crisis Services and Food Bank tries desperately to fill that need, and needs all of us to help them do so. Food bank funding depends on individual support from neighbors like you, with an astounding approximately 75% of all food bank funding coming from individual donors. One dollar provides one pound of food when just two years ago that same dollar provided five pounds of food.
Our community needs all of us. Please consider donating to CommUnity Crisis Services and Food Bank. A little bit from everyone goes a long way for everyone.
