For many of us, the holidays are about food. Reminiscing about family meals and recipes (creamed onions, anyone?), baking pies and decorating gingerbread houses, flipping through recipes, and sharing your results with loved ones.
As you know, all that is going to look a bit different this year, thanks to COVID. The need in our community is greater than ever, so we are inviting you to build community with us and share food with those who need it this holiday season. Feeding others is a surefire way to feed our own souls. We’ve got a handful of COVID-safe opportunities for you to build community with us through sharing food. Hopefully one of these will work for you:
Ready to get started? Great! Please reach out to me or Brielle on our team to find out more:
Sharing is what the holidays are all about! Since we’re not able to feed our extended families a big, loving holiday meal, let’s join together and feed our neighbors ☺
Thank you for all you do for our community, we sure appreciate you!
Hard to believe, we know, but it’s nearly time for back-to-school supply shopping! Which can be a very exciting time for kids, unless their families aren’t able to provide the tools their kids need. To that end, Human Solutions has put together a list on Amazon of the key items we know the kids who live in our affordable apartment communities need most. That way, you can just click and send – we’ll do the rest!
Take a look at our list and send some supplies our way, please! The volumes are high because there are LOTS of kids in our housing, but you can just buy the amounts that work for you. If you’re the type to make it a clean sweep and fulfill the whole order, we won’t turn you down.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR KIDS IN LOW-INCOME FAMILIES TO START SCHOOL WITH ALL THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO SUCCEED!
