There are many in our community who are struggling to provide basic needs for their families. Our hope is to help these families by providing 100+ food boxes during the Thanksgiving holiday. Most boxes are delivered to public schools in our area.
We appreciate your willingness to give and step up to the challenge of filling a box. This box will feed a family of four for one week. It costs about $60 to fill a box. If this commitment is a stretch for you, please consider partnering with another family, or join with your community group to fill two or more boxes. Together, we can help bless families who experience hunger.

Please resist the temptation to add additional items! All of the boxes need to be equal. Please consider filling a second box instead. Also, we are collecting money for gift cards to add to our boxes and for additional food boxes. If you are interested in giving a donation towards this effort, there will be a box available located by the contribution box. Or you can donate online thru our website, vanchurch.org, by clicking on the Holiday Benevolence fund choice.
