Operation Jingle Bells
Tax deductible
This holiday season, our cul-de-sac crew wanted to do something to support those who were most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. When we found out the number of families in North Carolina going hungry has increased by 38%, we wanted to help! That’s why we’re collecting food and monetary donations for the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina. We’re calling it Operation Jingle Bells!
This is a great local organization that was recently named 2020 Food Bank of the Year by Feeding America. From March through June, they spent more than 2X their annual food budget supporting families in need. They continue to see much higher demand than usual, and they need the help of communities like ours throughout North Carolina to meet it.
This is where we come in! We would appreciate it if you would clean out your pantry and leave your donations on your porch for contactless pick-up by Sunday, December 20th. Just PM Brandi Mayes (one of our moms) through Facebook and this jolly bunch of elves will swing by to pick it up.
The most needed items include: Canned fruits and veggies, canned meat, canned beans and soup, cereal, whole grain pasta and rice, peanut butter, hygiene items, household items, paper products. For infants and children we are collecting diapers, wipes, Pedialyte, infant cereal, fruit cups, granola bars, mac n cheese cups, crackers and juice boxes. For seniors we are collecting nutritional shakes and drinks and adult hygiene products.
If you would prefer to make a monetary contribution, you can do so through the above link. Our group will match donations up to $1,000, and the Food Bank will also be matching all donations through December 31. This means for every $1 you donate, $4 (or about 20 meals) goes to families in need.
Please join us in supporting this important cause!
