Today is our first TFC of 2010!
Today we serve MORE families than ever before. A year ago today we served 20-30 families and today we serve 40-60 families each week. We distributed over 4,000 bags of food in 2009. It has been a hard year for many our families, but a year of great collaboration and committment to strengthen one another through hard times that has led to much MORE...
We've had MORE support from individuals, businesses and donors making it possible to ensure all are served.
MORE volunteers - including regular students, retireees and professionals who have found a way to carve out some time (and even convinced their bosses to let them off work!) to serve those in need every week. THANK YOU!
MORE businesses - including Dave & Busters supporting our holiday services with supplemental food, turkeys and bulk dry goods. Starbucks supporting us each week with coffee. Nike providing us with athletic bags for Christmas gifts. THANK YOU!
MORE food - both Whole Foods and Trader Joes provide us with more fresh food than ever before. THANK YOU!
MORE caring - of CareTeam volunteers and their friends and families contributing books and toys as Christmas gifts for our families. THANK YOU!
MORE support - in late December we were made aware we received the Hendrickson grant to support our poverty services. This grant will support TFC, Art@DignityDiner and (g)love ensuring they are able to continue and expand their services. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
