Dear Friend,

As the year draws to a close - between the celebrations and the quiet pauses - the heart of this season feels especially clear: people still need warmth, meals, and to know they’re not alone.

Remember, every gift through Dec. 31 is matched 2X through our New Year’s Match Challenge. Twice the meals, twice the warmth, twice the hope!

This holiday, the best gifts didn't come in boxes; they came from the many generous hearts that refused to sit this year out. And because of this, a child laughed without worry. A mom served dinner without fear. An older adult felt seen and safe.

Friend, right now we’re still serving meals and opening doors for people who have nowhere else to go. Please make a year-end gift to help this response continue.

The match ends at midnight, Dec. 31 - and the difference you make tonight will echo long into 2026.

Wishing you and yours a most blessed and healthy new year!

With gratitude,

Mike King
President & CEO

P.S. You helped make this season steadier for someone. That same kindness can shape the days ahead. Thank you again!

This holiday, be the reason someone finds

hope and strength.
