Bethany recently received custody of her two grandchildren. “It’s been a hard year, but we’re thankful,” she shares. “We have something to eat. We have a roof over our heads.”

Her daughter lost her job a few years back and hasn’t been able to provide for Jessica, 4, and Branden, 3. Bethany appreciates the support she receives from the food shelf which helps them make ends meet and allows her not to have to choose between paying for heat or food.

“Things are very tight, so just being able to know that I can come here and get something extra to tie us over for the month is a blessing,” she shares.

With the winter months upon us, we’re grateful for your support of neighbors like Bethany and her two grandchildren. You provide heat, food and hope during the holiday season.

We have officially kicked off our early giving for Give to the Max Day – the annual 24-hour online giving day. Starting today, all gifts to us through midnight November 16, 2023, will be generously matched up to $15,000 by the Catholic Charities Bureau, Diocese of Superior. That means your support will ensure twice as many meals to families experiencing hunger.

“I’m so appreciative of this program,” shares Mary, a mother of three who visited our Food Shelf Program recently. “It helps our household immensely! I’m so appreciative of all who make this possible.”

Give to the Max today and help us double the impact for families like Mary’s this November.
