SEYMOUR - We’re thrilled to launch our first‑ever PIZZA fundraiser with our friends at DJ’s Pizza — a local favorite and a huge supporter of the Seymour Oxford Food Bank.

Here’s how it works:
 For every 10 pizzas purchased, DJ’s will donate 1 pizza to SOFB.
 You can also purchase a pizza directly for our freezer, helping us stock meals for neighbors shopping with us.
 Every pizza comes with a coupon for a FREE small cheese pizza with a $25 order.
 And SOFB receives a percentage of every sale, making your dinner go even further.

Seymour Oxford Food Bank seeks hams, turkeys for Easter meals

Sharing today's post from the Seymour Oxford Food Bank:

Hey Community!

Here’s the situation:

Over the past week, we’ve been inundated with requests for Easter Meals.

We hadn’t planned on doing meals for Easter because we’re already operating beyond our capacity on a daily basis. It’s been a challenge to keep our shelves stocked for regular shopping, let alone adding anything else. Holiday meal giveaways are a HUGE undertaking that require A LOT of manpower, coordination, and funding.

And yet,

We’ve never been able to look a need in the face and not at least TRY to meet it. We understand we’re not going to be able to help everyone. However, we ARE going to do what we can.

This isn’t going to look like a typical giveaway. We’re not even sure WHAT it’s going to look like. However we know that with YOUR support, we can create holiday magic for at least some our neighbors.

Huge thanks to the Arnold family for giving us a head-start with 50 meal bags. We also have approximately 50 frozen turkeys. We are working on hunting down hams.

If you feel called to be a part of this COMMUNITY effort, we will gladly accept hams, turkeys, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and monetary donations.
