Gift Giving for the Holidays

The dilemmas of gift giving for the holidays. 

• One: What to you get for the relative or friend on your shopping list that has everything?  That’s always a tough one. 
• Two: What do you give a follow citizen in your community who has little or nothing?  That’s easier. 

Here’s a tip. Combine the gift - Give a donation in honor of that hard to shop for friend or relative to help provide food to the individuals and families who are struggling to meet their basic needs.   Each dollar received at Tri-State Food Bank can generate $10.00 in food to the hungry. 

Many people are facing crises in their lives from emergency situations, unemployment or under employment, seniors are facing high medical bills, and kids are returning to school after weekends without much food.  Our programs help stretch family dollars so they can pay their bills and put food on the table for their kids.
