The COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent Shelter in Place requirements have caused a lot of challenges for our community. From serious health risks to economic hardships, the impact in particular for our seniors, small businesses, low-income families and healthcare workers has been devastating. And we want to do something about it.
Project GrubHug is our small way of helping make sure that those impacted most are not going without food. We’re raising money to have meals (and some love) delivered to those that need it most right now:
- Seniors that are living alone or in centers where they cannot leave, do not have food or any family to help them
- Families in need who have lost their income due to layoffs
- Healthcare workers who are putting their lives at risk to help those that are sick
Partnering with our sponsors at Randy Peters Catering, we are able to purchase and deliver meals for just $10 each. And if you know the quality of their food and service, you know this is a meal that costs a lot more to produce. They are subsidizing the cost to enable us to feed more people and help keep more of their staff working. A testament to their “servant’s heart” values and a true win-win!
Inspired by this, the Tower had just received a $2,000 grant which the kids have decided to use to kick off this project and purchase the first 200 meals! Now we’re asking for your help to hit our goal of 500 meals delivered in the month of April.
As always 100% of your tax deductible donation will be used for the project. You will also have the option to request what group your donation is used for. Feel free to ask any questions or bring ideas on how to bring this project to other areas. And we can use all of your help sharing the project with your friends, family and community so we can provide even more niceness for those in need.
Thank you for thinking of others during this difficult time. ❤❤ Make your donation below ❤❤ and stay tuned for updates on how the project is going.
Project GrubHug
The Tower wants to share some love while we all have to shelter in place. During the month of April, we are raising money to provide meal delivery (what we are calling GrubHugs) from Randy Peters Catering & Event Center for local seniors, families and health care workers in need. As always, 100% of the proceeds will be used for the project which will be primarily in Placer County. Thank you Niceness Nation!
