“We raised our goal this year to $115,000 and that’s for the entirety from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 and that will provide about 37,000 meals.”
Twenty grocery stores across the city will be accepting donations of $3.11, which is the cost of feeding one meal to one person.
“We serve about 200,000 meals a year through our services. We have a kitchen at Men’s Mission as well as at Rotholme [Women’s & Family Shelter].”
