Help 2nd Harvest help
We are now waking up to a different reality. Hard working people through no fault of their own have had their livelihood snatched from their hands. They can’t pay rent or feed their kids.
While we cannot provide full support for everyone, we all have the opportunity to provide a square in the safety net to help families make it through this pandemic. A donation to the 2nd Harvest will help families survive. The need for food has doubled since the “stay safe/stay home” program was started and people lost their jobs.
Every dollar provides 5 meals. And remember 99 cents of every dollar provides food. Each of us may not be able to fill the bucket, but with many drops, together we can make the bucket overflow. $25.00 can provide 125 meals. Only donate what you safely can be comfortable donating. Maybe the $10.00 that you would have spent on lunch out. If you are also helping your family members maybe one dollar is the right amount. Maybe you recently won the lottery and you are comfortable with a $100.00 donation. Whatever you can give will help us all make it through these trying times.
