Ending 2023 with Full Pantry Shelves!
Our digital food drive donated 230 pounds of food to The Gowanda Food Pantry before Christmas!
This event was a unique spin on typical holiday food drives by being entirely digital through social media. From November 27th – December 11th, every new follow on our Facebook & Instagram was matched with a donation of in-demand food items! Did we end up reaching our goal of 100?
We certainly did! Over 200 people supported the food drive this year. Diversifying this 216-item donation was paramount as we wanted to touch on varieties of food that families always need throughout the year. So, it included:
Soup, Canned Fruit, Mac & Cheese, Jelly, Pancake Mix with Syrup, Canned Tuna/Chicken, Elbow Macaroni, Apple Sauce, Mashed Potatoes, Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce, Pasta, and Egg Noodles!
Thank you to everyone who followed, shared, and supported us on social media! Your help truly made a difference for our community this holiday season. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, Gowanda!
