ShopRite Gift Cards

Now Our Holiday Meal Program Favorites

Due to changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, we now give our families ShopRite gift cards instead of the grocery items listed below, which are shown for your information.

The value of the card(s) depends on the sizes of the families, but the cards are intended to allow families to purchase the type of food that they both need and desire to celebrate their holiday dinners appropriately.

You can help by donating any amount toward the purchase of gift cards.

Holiday Meal Bags Program Now History

Holiday meal bags for up to 160 families were prepared for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, almost since our founding in 1971. Approximately 10 local agencies supplied us with lists of family names. Our volunteers gathered to prepare the bags of food based on family sizes. The menu changed slightly for the Christmas and Easter holidays (substituted hams for turkeys). The average meal value was between $45 and $60. 

We no longer give out the bags of food, but rather ShopRite gift cards in varied amounts, again based on family size. Monetary donations are welcomed and will help us offset the cost of the gift cards we distribute.
