Hi Friend, 

Today, we step into the calm before a day that brings out the best in all of us.

On Giving Tuesday, goodness gathers strength—lifting families out of hardship, sparking second chances, and keeping hope alive when life is at its toughest. 

What we’re hearing from our teams right now is hard but honest—families stretching a single meal across a whole day, veterans trying to get into shelters that are already full, and isolated older adults carrying a quiet fear that tomorrow may be even harder. These are the neighbors your compassion reaches first.

You can put food, warmth and care in reach right now.

Your Giving Tuesday gift is now doubled, thanks to our $30,000 match! That’s 2X the meals served, 2X the doors opened and 2X the neighbors finding warmth and hope tonight.

When we all pull together, real change happens fast. We’ll make this Giving Tuesday and holiday season the best yet. Let’s do this!

Warmly,

P.S. Giving Tuesday works because people like you decide to show up together. That shared kindness can tip someone’s hardest day toward hope. I hope you'll be part of this moment with your gift.

This holiday, be the reason someone finds

hope and strength.
