Sierra HOPE has launched a new program to add stability to our Food Pantry Program – the Heroes Fighting Hunger program. We are seeking our inaugural 25 individuals who will commit to contributing $25 each month for one year.
Because this is a program serving an important basic human need, the predictability this will bring to the food pantry will add an important element of stability which is especially important as food costs have increased by 12% over last year.
The Sierra HOPE food pantry is open every Wednesday and is staffed entirely by volunteers. During the first 6 months of 2021 we served 15-20 families each week, an average of approximately 70 families over the course of a month.
Our pantry strives to deliver a variety of nutritious foods every week of the year. We try to add a little extra cheer at the holidays because they are a special time for families. Last year we were able to distribute more 80 turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sierra Hope is able to negotiate special prices to make these purchases and your generous support will allow us to continue this effort.
The Sierra Hope food pantry continues to serve families each week following COVID-19 guidelines. To become one of the 25 inaugural heroes fighting hunger for Sierra HOPE, simply visit our Website and Sign up with your Credit Card!
