Help put a holiday turkey on every table
For many of us, the holidays mean gathering with loved ones around a warm meal. But for 1 in 6 households in the Ozarks, this season brings difficult choices: pay the heating bill or put food on the table. That means there’s a working mom who isn’t sure how she’s going to afford a meal for her children tonight – much less a holiday meal.
We can ensure our neighbors have access to holiday food, but we need your help. The Food Bank is preparing for the season by purchasing turkeys, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, vegetables, pie filling and more so families can celebrate with a warm holiday meal. Ozarks Food Harvest delivers these groceries at no extra cost to our faith-based and community partners so they can share it with neighbors in need across the Ozarks.
Your support is crucial as increased food prices are hitting households hard. Families facing hunger now report needing $100 more each month to be food secure compared to just three years ago.
This year, we need to raise $290,000 to purchase holiday food, which includes a total of 8,700 turkeys. Just $20 puts a turkey on a family’s table. A gift of $80 provides two families with a full holiday meal.
Together, we can Transform Hunger into Hope and ensure that every table is filled with good, nutritious food. Please consider making a gift today at ozarksfoodharvest.org/donate. Your kindness is a gift of hope for families this holiday season.
