Honor Mom with A Special Gift This Mother's Day

Better than Flowers

Give the Gift of Health and Happiness in Honor of Mom Through The Hunger Coalition

This Mother’s Day, you can give a gift that truly honors the meaning of “Mom”.  Give wholesome food, and welcome hope, to the families in our community who are struggling to make ends meet.  Offer precious relief to the moms trying to keep their families fed and healthy while facing daily challenges.

Recently, The Hunger Coalition has seen an alarming increase in the number of moms coming to us for assistance.  Many are single and working hard to make ends meet, but unable to pay bills and keep food on their tables.  They come to us with little hope, feeling desperate and scared.  The moment they realize The Hunger Coalition will provide them with wholesome groceries and a sense of security for the coming week, they can breathe a little easier and offer a grateful, heartfelt smile.  They know their kids will go to bed with full bellies and wake in the morning with breakfast on the table too.  There is a little more hope and happiness. 

The Hunger Coalition relies on the support and generosity of our community to provide this essential hope, and nourishing food.  From offering food assistance through the Mobile Food Bank to growing fresh produce in The Hope Garden or sending kids home on the weekends with meals and snacks through The Backpack Club, every single gift makes a real and significant difference.

The Hunger Coalition invites you to give a gift in honor of your mother – or any woman who has made an impact on your life - through their website at: www.thehungercoalition.org or by sending a gift directly to: 121 Honeysuckle Street Bellevue, ID 83313.  A special note will be sent to her, sharing your thoughtfulness and generosity on her behalf and thanking her for being such an inspiration!  You are also invited to share a special story about your Mom on The Hunger Coalition’s Facebook page, simply search “Blaine County Hunger Coalition”.

With more than 500 local families experiencing hunger and in need of food assistance, every gift plays a critical role in the health and well being of our entire community.  Continuing economic crisis has stretched resources, depleted savings, and created desperation for many.  By ensuring these neighbors in need have healthy food and vital support during these difficult times, they can get back on their feet faster and become a contributing members of our community once again.

Any woman would be honored to know that she has taught the value of giving to the most important people in her life.  Give the gift of health and well-being this Mother's Day.  Make Mom proud – and make a difference!

Share your story on Facebook and give in honor of your Mother at www.thehungercoalition.org!

 

Founded in 2003, the Blaine County Hunger Coalition strives to end hunger in our community by providing wholesome food to those in need and by promoting solutions to the underlying causes of hunger through collaboration, education and advocacy.
