OUR GIVING TUESDAY #NoFamilyHungry CAMPAIGN IS BACK!

Help Us Support the Vulnerable Families of Waltham Through the Winter!

Each week, as our staff and volunteers set up the food pantry, we are dismayed to see the lines start to form. Demand for the fresh produce and pantry staples that we provide nearly weekly to our neediest Waltham neighbors has never been higher.

 

Seniors, recent immigrants and families already living close to the poverty line continue to struggle with the pandemic’s economic fallout. Many have lost loved ones, including their family’s bread-winner. They need your help.

Last year, you helped us exceed our fundraising goal for Giving Tuesday and keep struggling Waltham families from going hungry. This year, we’re hoping to succeed again – but it won’t be easy.

While demand for our services remains alarmingly high, COVID-19, and those it has hit hardest, continue to recede from the headlines. Please help us show the underserved families of Waltham that they have not been forgotten.

 

 

 

Healthy Waltham does all it can to meet the needs of our community and ensure that every Waltham resident can feed their families this winter. Since April 2020, our monthly food pantry has been held nearly weekly; to date, 39,000 families have received two million pounds of groceries – including meat, eggs, vegetables, canned goods and toiletries – through scores of emergency pantries.

 

We are currently serving approximately 1,000 families per pantry – a number that has risen steadily since the pandemic began.

 

 

 

Despite the progress that has been made in slowing the pandemic, research states that food insecurity will be felt by families well into 2023. Healthy Waltham urgently needs your support to sustain its high-level response to this ongoing crisis. Please join our #NoFamilyHungry campaign and give what you can to ensure the families of Waltham have food on the table this winter.
