Knock out Holiday Hunger 4 MP

12/15/2022

We have 20 families taking part in the Holiday Meal Program this year. Thank you to everyone who donated funds, bought laundry detergent, bought groceries to donate, or shared our posts. We appreciate you all and I know these families do as well. Happy Holidays.

We are accepting nominations for the Holiday Meal Program. Please text, private message, or email me if you know of a family in our school district who could use this program. If there are elderly folks who would also benefit, please reach out to me as well. We will find a way to help them without overwhelming them with a huge meal 🙂
If you know of anyone who could use this meal, please email me at [email protected]. You can reach out to me in other ways if you have my contact info 🙂 If you would like to donate to the program, you can drop off donations at the library. Thank you for the continued support of this program.
Please share!

Please let us know if you would be interested in this.

Would you be interested??
We are thinking of doing an “Egg my House” event. We would hide candy filled eggs in your yard for Easter Sunday. There would be a form to fill out and the cost would be $25 for 25 eggs, $50 for 50 eggs and $75 for 75 eggs. Please let us know if this is something you or someone you might know would be interested in participating in. All proceeds will go to our Holiday Hunger Meals.

Good morning! I am sorry it has taken us so long to post about the holiday meals. I feel like time went so quickly between Halloween and Christmas. I can't believe we are already in our 2nd week of January. Thanks to so many community members and businesses, we were able to help 16 families have everything they needed to have a wonderful Christmas meal. All of the families were so appreciative. As we have mentioned before, our plan is to have a Thanksgiving meal AND Christmas meal this year. Not only will this mean we will have to do more fundraising and outreach, but it means we need more input from you all. We want to have the two meals be different---different sides and desserts to choose from, etc. If you have a side that you think would be great, please send us a private message with the recipe and we will add it. Currently, for the Christmas meal, participants receive stuffing, turkey, salad, rolls, a breakfast item, either a fruit or veggie tray, cookie dough, a pecan, apple, or pumpkin pie, and the choice of 3 sides from: macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, and scalloped corn. Please help us think of new additions. We are also open to suggestions on how to make the program better in general. We would like to find a way to incorporate something for the elderly or single individuals so they won't have to deal with so much food. Again, thank you SO MUCH for the amazing way everyone stepped up for our community. Please look for an article in the newspaper soon.

If you know someone that would appreciate our Holiday Meal, please message Sarah Stone or myself- Amanda Doherty- (or message on this page) to nominate them. We will then send them a letter (they won't know who nominated them) to verify they would like the meal. If your family could use this meal, please reach out to either one of us. Family names are kept confidential.

Please share this so we can reach as many families as possible.

Detergent is here! We have ALL the detergent EXCEPT the Tide Free and Clear PODS at the library. The FC Pods will be in soon (hopefully next week.) Please let us know if you want to stop by and get your items or schedule a time to meet up. The library is open until 7pm tonight, 5pm tomorrow, and 10-1 on Saturday.

Thank you SO MUCH for helping us raise money for this great cause.

Does anyone have a stand up freezer they would be willing to either donate to this program or sell really cheap? We will need one for the turkeys and other items.

Thanks!

We need all laundry detergent orders by TOMORROW please. If you have not paid, please get your payment to us by either PayPal or dropping off money to the Mt. Pulaski Public Library.

To see the list of detergent available, please scroll down this page--there is a post with pictures of 5 gallon buckets and the list is attached to that post.

Thank you for your continued support!

**Don't need detergent, but still want to help fund these meals? Message our page and we can give you PayPal and Venmo options or feel free to drop your donation off to the library**

If we get all of the payments from our current orders, we will have raised over $500 so far for the holiday meals. We need at least $1000 more, so if you know anyone who would like to order detergent please share our post. We will have a booth this weekend at Fall Festival to collect donations (as well as detergent orders). Please stop by and see us!
We are beyond grateful for all of your support.
