Holiday Food Boxes

Holiday Food Box Program

Each December brings our signature Holiday Food Box distribution program. This annual community event, created by two caring businessmen in 1912, now delivers pounds of staple nutritious foods to our neighbors in need. We share basic food items like peanut butter, a canned ham, juice, milk, rice, potatoes, soup, canned vegetables, beans, and cornbread with 1500 households.

Applications for the 2012 Food Box Program will be accepted in November and December.

We truly appreciate our dedicated volunteers of from all ages, backgrounds, and parts of the city, who work side-by-side on our makeshift assembly line to put together and deliver food boxes across the city.
