Holiday Meal Boxes
Help Bring Holiday Meals to Over 400 Local Families!
The holidays are a time for gathering, sharing, and making memories. But for many families in our community, putting a special meal on the table can be a challenge.
​
Through our Holiday Meal Box Program, Iron County Care and Share works to provide over 400 local families with the ingredients for a holiday meal.
​
With your help, we can make the season a little brighter for our neighbors!
Sponsor a Family
Just $25 can help provide a holiday meal for one family!
​
Financial contributions are one of the most effective ways to support our Holiday Meal Box Program. Monetary donations allow us to purchase food in bulk, coordinate supplies, and ensure each family receives a complete holiday meal.
​
Whether you sponsor one family or several, your generosity makes a difference!
