End Hunger In Our Community!

Give Families in our Community Food Security for the Holidays

Many families are struggling this holiday season to make ends meet. Food prices are still rising and many needed benefits from SNAP to Medicaid to healthcare insurance are disappearing or are becoming more expensive.

Many jobs have been lost (or furloughed) for a variety of reasons. Many of these reasons are political, but there is nothing political or necessary about hunger.

Our pickleball community is an amazing group of caring and helpful people. I see your generosity and giving spirit every day. I’m asking you to give what you can — whether one can of food or one Thanksgiving meal in a bag. Every single donation helps, and makes one person’s day a little brighter. Thank you.
