Truth: You Are Loved
We wrapped up NEPA Gives last night at 7 PM with a full heart. Thanks to the generosity of 35 donors, $5,570 was raised. Every dollar goes directly to purchasing chef-made dinners through our certified restaurant partners. That means 557 neighbors will be fed.
557 hot, delicious, chef-made meals. Shared through our community network. Because of you.
We will report back and share the impact as it happens. For now, we want to say thank you to:
