Sharing meals with friends and family is one of the many joys most of us love about this time of year. But you might be surprised to learn that many families in our community will not have a dinner table loaded with all the holiday standards, Christmas goodies, and all the fixings. Here’s where Share the Table and your generosity can help.
Tuesday, December 3 is Giving Tuesday, an international day dedicated to giving back to those in need. Everyone is encouraged to give back any way they are able. First celebrated in 2012, Giving Tuesday is a great opportunity to help your community via your favorite charity. Give blood if you want to contribute to the Red Cross, help build a house if you are a fan of Habitat for Humanity or contribute to food programs such as Share the Table if that is your non-profit passion.
Giving Tuesday is about making a difference through the causes you care about most. So how can you do that this year?
Your most powerful tool may be your wallet. Your monetary contributions as low as $25 can provide a week’s worth of groceries for a small family. Bump that up to $50 and you can help provide much-needed fruits and vegetables to those in need. Give more and the help multiples throughout all our programs.
Last year, Share the Table provided 490,253 nutritious meals to families in need. Your contributions help us keep our shelves stocked with fresh produce, canned goods, and pantry staples. You also help us provide warm meals to those in the community through our weekly Sunday Suppers. We thank you for your generosity, but the need is still here.
You can donate online or mail a check to PO Box 4170, Surf City NC 28445.
You can also help us spread the word. Share our mission with your friends and family on social media. You might be surprised who you’ll inspire with our mission this Giving Tuesday.
Thanks for being a Hunger Hero!
