Food insecurity around the holidays, especially for children, can be devastating; with some families in a delicate balance to keep a roof over their head, heat their homes, and keep food on the table. Foodlink is facing an increased demand for services from its members, exacerbated by economic disruptions across the US, residual impacts from the pandemic, supply chain shortages, and inflation. With the rising cost of groceries increasing need, this November Foodlink reported purchasing 7% more product compared to last year, to help serve our community during the holidays.
We’re once again, seeking your support to provide extra stability and cheer for our community this holiday season. The program will run through Tuesday, December 20th. As we did for the past 3 years, we will continue with our matching program of a $1.25 Cerion donation for every $1.00 donated by team members.
How You Can Help Local Families
This webpage is Cerion-specific and allows us to track donations so we can apply the appropriate matching donation from Cerion. All donations are tax-deductible to you personally. You have a few options to contribute:
