BREAKING: The United Way of the Lowcountry has just announced an urgent Thanksgiving campaign aimed at supporting families affected by the ongoing government shutdown. The Thanksgiving Meal Campaign is crucial for residents in Beaufort and Jasper Counties, as it seeks donations to provide traditional holiday meals, including turkey and sides, for families in need.
With the holiday just weeks away, the campaign is calling for immediate contributions. For just $40, donors can sponsor a Thanksgiving meal that serves four people. This initiative is essential as many families face financial uncertainty due to the shutdown, which has left them struggling to put food on the table this holiday season.
United Way President and CEO Dale Douthat emphasized the broader impact of the campaign, stating, “This campaign is about more than a meal. It is about self-sufficiency. By meeting an immediate need, we give families the breathing room to stay on their feet, pay rent, keep the lights on, and focus on what comes next.”
The urgency of this initiative cannot be overstated. As the holiday approaches, local food pantries are grappling with increased demand and dwindling supplies. The Thanksgiving Meal Campaign represents a lifeline for many households in the Lowcountry area.
Residents are encouraged to participate and donate through the United Way website, as every contribution counts towards ensuring that no family goes without this Thanksgiving. The campaign is not only about providing meals but also about fostering a sense of community and support during difficult times.
In addition to meal donations, the United Way is also seeking volunteers to help distribute meals as Thanksgiving Day approaches. Those interested in assisting can find more information on the United Way’s website.
This campaign highlights the spirit of giving and community support during the holiday season. As families prepare to gather around the table, the United Way of the Lowcountry is dedicated to ensuring that everyone can partake in the celebration.
ACT NOW: Visit the United Way of the Lowcountry’s website today to make a donation and help bring hope to families in need this Thanksgiving. Your support is vital during this critical time.
