With the holiday season just around the corner, I feel an overwhelming sense of thankfulness for all we accomplished this past year.

Together we ensured that the growing number of individuals and families facing hunger in the tristate area had the food and relief they needed when they needed it.

There’s so much to celebrate. But we now need to build on the successes of the past year to provide even more support in the coming year.

Your generosity is the very foundation of this work. Because of you, our neighbors know Freestore Foodbank is here to offer food, support, and a sense of community.

The spirit of giving is at the heart of this season, and right now every gift goes twice as far to help! Thanks to a $350,000 matching gift from Sycamore Capital and generous Second Helping Fund donors, your gift doubles in impact. Every $1 now provides up to 6 meals!

When friends and neighbors gather around their dinner tables this holiday season to give thanks, it is so much more than a meal. It’s a reminder that we’re all part of a caring community.

This issue of Connection focuses on families and the impact you can make this Thanksgiving. Because of people like you, they have nourishing food to make a holiday meal for the people they love.

With gratitude,
