you give to Citizens Inn<br />
FOR THE WEEKLY NEWS<br />
We know how much you<br />

a treasured friend of Citizens<br />
Inn. And so we hope you will<br />
take advantage of the opportunity<br />
to DOUBLE the impact of<br />
your support through December<br />

No Child Goes Hungry continuing<br />
with support from Haven from Hunger<br />
FOR THE WEEKLY NEWS<br />
When schools were closed<br />
due to the pandemic in 2020,<br />
No Child Goes Hungry Peabody<br />
transitioned from a source<br />
of additional food on weekends<br />
for children that suffer from<br />
food insecurity to a program<br />
that provided groceries to approximately<br />
900 students per<br />
week. The program continues<br />
today to service over 300 students<br />
with backpacks delivered<br />

$500 impact.<br />
A gift of $500 will make a<br />
$1,000 impact.<br />
This year, 65 kids will wake<br />
up in shelter on Christmas<br />
morning. While this can be hard<br />
on the kids, it's even harder on<br />
our moms and dads, who are<br />
doing their best to get back on<br />
their feet. With donations, we<br />
can purchase gift cards so our<br />
parents can experience the joy<br />
and dignity of shopping for<br />
their children's gifts.<br />
As you do your holiday<br />
shopping, please consider making<br />
a gift to those who have fallen<br />
on hard times in your community<br />
and it will have TWICE<br />
the impact.<br />
In the week leading up to<br />
Christmas last year, our Haven<br />
from Hunger food pantry program<br />
served 541 unduplicated<br />
households. We anticipate similar<br />
demand this year but will<br />
have to meet it with fewer resources,<br />
so donations are more<br />
critical than ever. Please help us<br />
keep this important operation<br />
running by making a gift today.<br />
Your support will go FUR-<br />
THER by donating between<br />
now and December 31 and<br />
having it DOUBLED with our<br />
Matching Challenge.<br />
right to their door. No Child<br />
Goes Hungry is able to do this<br />
with the support of volunteers,<br />
Citizens Inn/Haven From Hunger,<br />
sponsorships and generous<br />
donations from the community.<br />
