Each year, United Community Centers provides food for more than 1,000 local families that would otherwise be unable to celebrate during the holiday season. WestAid also provides a similar outreach. Arborlawn is honored to participate in both of these efforts every November, thanks to the missions-minded hearts of our members.
A very large percentage of the families who receive these holiday baskets earn very low wages, are on fixed incomes, are unemployed or underemployed, or participate in other supplemental meal programs. This outreach provides a traditional holiday meal for these people during a season of the year when the culture celebrates bounty.
Please watch The Vine in the coming weeks as we provide our annual shopping list of foods that make up these holiday baskets. And, as always, we deeply appreciate your unending generosity and thoughtfulness of others.
