The holiday season is a time for kindness, connection, and giving from the heart. Each year, our community comes together to share the true spirit of Christmas by filling food boxes with love and essentials for our neighbors who could use a little extra help.

Our Annual Food Box Giveaway is more than a tradition — it’s a reminder of what makes our community special. Together, we bring comfort, nourishment, and joy to individuals and families facing tough times during the holidays.

As Christmas approaches, we’re inviting community members, local businesses, and organizations to join us in spreading warmth and generosity. You can help by donating non-perishable food items, volunteering your time, or simply sharing this message with others.

Every can, every box, and every helping hand makes a difference. When we come together, we’re not just providing food — we’re sharing hope, kindness, and the joy of the season. Let’s make sure everyone in Shelby County feels the love of our community this Christmas.

Check out the attached flyer for a list of suggested items to include in each food box — your contribution, big or small, helps make the season brighter for everyone.
