So Far

By Traci Wickett | President & CEO

What has your gift to United Against Hunger accomplished?

We think you'll be amazed.

21 furloughed restaurant workers got their Forklift Operator certifications while working shifts at Good Neighbor Settlement House
Get Shift Done workers delivered hot meals to homebound seniors for more than a year.
Ozanam Center's emergency food pantry went from being open one day per month to two days per week, serving 650 families every week.
12 Get Shift Done workers are now full time employees at their agency they served. These furloughed restaurant workers fell in love with nonprofit service and changed careers!
Your gift provided over 7 MILLION MEALS to hungry families in the Rio Grande Valley. We hope you feel great about that!

Thank you for helping us respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic chaos it created.
