2025 Holiday Baking Drive Campaign for Ralph Reeder Food Shelf — Final Results / THANK YOU!
We cannot thank you enough for your generosity in giving to our 2025 Holiday Baking Drive Campaign. We transported carloads of donations and baking goods throughout the campaign, weighing in at 2560 pounds. And one Small Group donated an additional 175 pounds for the holidays. In total, we donated 2735 pounds to the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf for holiday giving to our neighbors. That is over a TON of generosity! Thank you!!
As well, you have been very generous in giving financial donations this fall and through the holiday season. Through your generosity, we have received $26,900! Ralph Reeder Food Shelf can make great use of these funds, acquiring items that are greatly needed through their channels. Again, thank you!!
During this season of giving, thank you for being a part of our “Church Without Walls” ministry and providing generously for our neighbors through our partnership with the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf.
While this year’s campaign has officially come to an end, food insecurity, unfortunately, has not. Please continue to support the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf and those they serve here in our community.
