Good afternoon friends of Care and Share!
We are still grinning cheek to cheek, thrilled over the success of last week’s Recipe for Hope luncheon. If you haven’t already seen the exciting news posted on our Facebook page, this was a record-breaking year for us. We raised $302,000—the most support we have ever received in the nine years that we have been hosting this event! This significant contribution to our work will allow us to provide 2.4 million meals for our neighbors struggling with hunger throughout Southern Colorado.
But this isn’t just Care and Share’s success. It’s the community’s. We couldn’t have done it without you. More than a thousand people came to the event— table captains,guests, and sponsors. Our amazing speakers, Zodok and Mary, not only gave us goosebumps, but at times, tears.
If you attended, we hope it was as inspirational for you as it was for us. And hopefully, you were also able to learn more about the Care and Share programs that you make possible.
In her speech that day, our President and CEO, Lynne Telford, brought up a thought-provoking point:
“Our vision is to help families so that they do not need Care and Share food. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to give out less food, because less food is needed?”
Yes, it would.
THANK YOU to everyone who shares in our belief that no one should go hungry. You make all the difference.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
