HELP WITH OUR THANKSGIVING FOOD BOX PROGRAM!

Every November Hope for the Cities prepares special food boxes for the Thanksgiving holiday with seasonal and traditional foods to bring joy to families in need. In addition to our weekly distribution, we provide food to Wylie ISD and Community ISD to distribute to families they have identified as having food insecurity. We also provide food boxes to the Wylie Police Department for their "Operation Blue Santa" program where they distribute food boxes to families they've encountered who need help this holiday season.

 

Just $30 will help us buy food for a family, but a gift of any amount is appreciated. You can also purchase the food we need for the food boxes directly from Walmart Spark Good Registry; Walmart will ship the products directly to us to for distribution in lunch bags.
