Holiday Food Drive Benefitting Bienvenidos Food Bank
Let’s spread some cheer by giving back this holiday season!
Red Egg Marketing is organizing a holiday food drive to collect donations for our local Bienvenidos Food Bank. 2023 was an unprecedented year of demand for Bienvenidos’ services. The lapse in COVID-era federal assistance has caused local families to lose $90 in benefits each month on average. When paired with high inflation rates and rising rents, families are forced to choose between paying for food or keeping their lights on. Thus, the Bienvenidos team saw a 100% increase in new families this year, and a 68% increase in overall visits to the food bank. Now serving more than 9,000 people monthly, our community needs a helping hand now more than ever! Check out the donation list below to see how you can lend a helping hand.
