Dear Friends of Faith Food Fridays,This November and December, there are hundreds of families in need counting on us. Last Thanksgiving, we hosted our largest-ever Thanksgiving Dinner Box event on Friday, November 17, handing out turkey dinners and essential groceries to hundreds of families. This Christmas on December 21, we’ll share holiday meals and toys from 3–6 pm to help ensure joy for local children. Here’s why your gift matters TODAY:We serve over 500 families weekly, distributing essential food boxes valued at $40 each (fresh produce, pantry staples, and more). During the holidays, that need climbs to 700–1,000 boxes per week to support community surges.Each holiday meal box, including a frozen turkey and full fixings, costs approximately $40 to assemble and distribute. In November and December alone, our team gives away tens of thousands of meals—and we cannot do it without your support.Here’s how your donation makes a direct impact:Donation Amount - What It Provides$40 - One complete Thanksgiving or Christmas meal box$200 - Five holiday boxes for local families$2,000 - Sponsor 50 boxes—enough food and dignity for dozens of households$10,000 - Help us sustain distributions for an entire week during holiday surgesAct now to help:* Donate online at: www.faithfoodfridays.com/donate* Or send a check to Faith Bible Church / Faith Food Fridays, 826 Solano Ave, Vallejo, CA 94590* Email us directly at [email protected] for more ways to give or get involvedWhen you give today, you are giving more than food—you are giving hope, dignity, and community.
