With Thanksgiving just 45 days away, the Food Bank of Delaware kicked off its annual Thanksgiving holiday food drive Monday.
With high costs due to inflation, the community’s support is needed now more than ever to ensure that Delawareans have hot holiday meals on the table this season, Food Bank of Delaware President and CEO Cathy Kanefsky said.
“More than 100,000 of our Delaware neighbors have difficulties affording food,” Kanefsky said. “No family deserves to go without a hot holiday meal. Our community can help us bring hope this season by hosting an in-person food drive or an online fundraiser to help us purchase food. Together, we can all brighten the holiday season for our neighbors in need.”
There are two ways for individuals, businesses or community groups to support the Food Bank of Delaware’s Thanksgiving food drive.
One is to host an online fundraiser, which enables the Food Bank to purchase items that are most in need. The Food Bank’s buying power is strong; for every dollar donated, the Food Bank of Delaware can provide three meals to Delawareans in need.
