As we gear up for the season of gratitude and generosity, there’s no better way to kick off the giving spirit than by participating in Giving Tuesday. Every year, Giving Tuesday falls on the Tuesday following the US Thanksgiving and as the name implies, it is a day for giving back in whatever way possible.
This year, we’re asking for your support as the need for food assistance becomes greater than ever. Over the last year, we have seen over 62,000 visits to the food bank made up of 4,501 unique households. The demand for our services has grown, and your support allows us to provide essential nourishment to those who are struggling.
How You Can Help
There are many ways you can help make a difference this Giving Tuesday and throughout the holiday season:
- Make a Monetary Donation. Monetary donations allow us to purchase the items we need most, and your donation of any amount makes a huge difference. Additionally, this December, Peterson will be matching all donations up to $10,000, allowing your contribution to go even further!
- Start Your Own Fundraiser. Hosting a Holiday Food Drive is a great way to get your friends, family, and coworkers involved!
- Volunteer Your Time. Whether you’re helping pack hampers, sorting donations, or handing out food to those who need them, your time and energy are essential to our mission. Sign up to be a volunteer now!
- Spread the Word. Your advocacy through social media or other means can inspire others to join in and contribute, amplifying the impact we can make together.
From all of us at the Richmond Food Bank, thank you for your continued support. With your help, we are able to serve over 3,200 families in need each week. Your contributions, whether big or small, means the world to us. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for helping us build a community where no one is hungry!
