Feeding Northeast Florida (FNEFL), the region’s largest nonprofit food bank, has launched a new campaign to serve families in need this holiday season. The organization will craft holiday ornaments, making them available through the food bank’s website. The ornaments, priced at $30, will help cover the cost of sponsoring a family’s holiday dinner.
Holidays often center around a big meal. For the more than 272,000 individuals in the community facing food insecurity, creating a special meal often falls outside of family’s monthly budgets. The food bank stands in the gap for those who find themselves in need. In addition to opportunities to volunteer or donate, this year FNEFL is inviting the community to get involved by donating directly and receiving a one-of-a-kind ornament to sponsor a family in need.
“Every year, we provide thousands of individuals and families with the ingredients for a holiday meal. This ornament campaign provides a tangible way for our supporters to stand with those in need,” said Susan King, president and chief executive officer of Feeding Northeast Florida. “While hunger is a year-round issue, it’s especially relevant this time of year when we gather together to celebrate and give thanks. This campaign raises important funds for our holiday distribution events, while providing our supporters with a visual symbol of our gratitude for their generosity. We look forward to continuing this tradition for many years to come.”
For a donation of $30, individuals and businesses will receive a limited-edition ornament from FNEFL.
Ornaments are limited, with only 500 available, and can be picked up in-person at the food bank’s newly-renovated campus at 5245 Old Kings Road in Jacksonville, or online. The one-of-a-kind ornaments are available until Dec. 13.
