Celebrating 50 Years of Feeding Our Neighbors
FISH Food Pantry ~ 1973 - 2023 Eat, Drink & Feed Many!
Once again, all of our FISH Food Pantry households will be offered a Holiday Meal Box for both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays regardless of the size of their family. This year, our goal is to purchase 675 of each of the Holiday Meal Boxes for the months of November and December. Due to the higher demand of households in need this year, we have ordered an additional 175 more Holiday Meal Boxes than what was ordered for the 2022 Holiday Season. Each Meal Box is valued at over $40 but we are able to purchase them from the Northern IL Food Bank for $20.
Thanksgiving Meal Boxes will include a 12-14 lb. frozen Turkey and the Christmas Meal Box includes a 12-14 lb. frozen Spiral Ham. Both meals include a box of dry goods for several side dishes and also a bag of fresh russet potatoes and fresh sweet potatoes. Please get into the spirit of giving and help a family in need enjoy a Holiday Meal gathered with their loved ones! 2023 Autumn Holiday Newsletter
