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.

Good Morning Community!!!
We are in the FINAL STRETCH of collecting for our Thanksgiving Meal Distribution!!!
As you know, we have teamed up with the Seymour Oxford Food Bank, The Blessing Pantry, and the Oxford Neighbor to Neighbor Pantry to distribute meals to OVER 400 families this Thanksgiving.
Thankfully, our entire community has rallied around this effort!!!
Currently we are only 50 turkeys away from what we need. We KNOW with your help we can get there!!!
You can drop frozen turkeys at the Food Bank during routine business hours OR making arrangements to drop them to us.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us or the food bank.
We are so grateful to our ENTIRE community for your support. You are the MAGIC that makes the holidays and EVERYDAY so special. ✨
We love and appreciate you!!!
