Happy Holidays from all of us at 86 Hunger Now 🤍

This season, I want to take a moment to thank our incredible volunteers, donors, partners, and supporters. Because of you, we’ve been able to provide not just meals, but dignity, comfort, and hope to our neighbors in need.

Food has the power to bring people together, and your generosity has made that possible all year long. As we look ahead to the new year, our mission remains the same: ensuring everyone has access to high-quality, thoughtfully prepared meals… because everyone deserves good food.

From my heart to yours, thank you for being part of this community. Wishing you a holiday season filled with warmth, kindness, and good food shared with the people you love.

With gratitude,
Chef David Scott
Founder, 86 Hunger Now

One of the most important reasons we started 86 Hunger Now was because we believe that not only does everyone deserve food — everyone deserves good, high-quality food.

A heartfelt thank you to Villari Foods for supporting our mission this year and standing by us as we navigate some growing pains. We are so grateful.

Our community needs us now more than ever, and we truly couldn’t do this work without your support.

Thank you. 💛

Thank you to Joan, one of our volunteer chefs, for sharing her testimony with us. This holiday season, remember that hunger lives closer to home than we think—among our neighbors, friends, and families. We’re deeply thankful for your support this year, but the need doesn’t stop here.

Hunger can’t wait. Become a monthly donor today. 💚

The holidays should feel warm and joyful — but for many of our neighbors, this season brings extra strain. Between rising costs, fewer work hours, and holiday expenses, thousands in our community are fighting just to make ends meet. 💚

At 86 Hunger Now, we’re here to ensure no one has to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table. Your support helps us show up with dignity, compassion, and a full plate for those who need it most.

If you’re able, please consider becoming a monthly donor. Together, we can make sure no one goes hungry. 🌿

As the holiday season and colder months arrive, the need only grows. If you’re able, please consider becoming a monthly donor to help us continue feeding families and fighting food insecurity all year long. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference. 86hungernow.org
