CHRISTMAS FOOD DRIVE
Help Us Bless Fox Valley Families This Christmas
This Christmas season, the Freedom Center Food Pantry is inviting our entire community to help us stock some items that are often difficult for food pantries to obtain:
CEREAL
TOILET PAPER
& PAPER TOWELS
The Freedom Center Food Pantry serves hundreds of people in need right here in the Fox Valley every week. These basic items can be especially difficult for the pantry to keep stocked, which makes them a tremendous blessing to our pantry guests.
And we’re going to have some fun with it!
As donations come in, we’ll build Christmas trees out of cereal boxes, toilet paper, and paper towels before getting these much-needed items into the hands of our pantry guests.
HOW CAN I GET INVOLVED?
You don’t have to organize a huge drive to make a difference. Pick up an extra box of cereal or package of toilet paper or paper towels while you’re shopping and bring it by.
Or get a group involved!
YOUR WORKPLACE
Set out a collection box and invite your coworkers to participate.
YOUR CHURCH
Invite your congregation, small group, youth ministry, or Bible study to collect together.
YOUR SCHOOL
Challenge a classroom, grade, team, or entire school to see how much you can collect.
YOUR CLUB OR ORGANIZATION
Sports teams, service clubs, community groups, and other organizations can make this a simple Christmas service project.
YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS
Make it part of your family’s Christmas giving and invite friends and neighbors to join you.
Whether you bring one box of cereal or an entire truckload, every donation helps us care for people right here in our community.
