Dear [Recipient’s Name],

As the holiday season approaches, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in a cause that’s close to my heart—Bread for the City’s Holiday Helpings program. For 32 years, this incredible initiative has provided thousands of families in Washington, DC, with a special holiday meal, including a whole turkey or chicken, holiday fixings, and fresh seasonal produce.

Holiday Helpings isn’t just about providing a meal—it’s about making sure everyone feels included, respected, and supported.

Here are a few exciting ways Bread for the City is expanding its impact this year:

  • Latine and East Asian Culturally Inclusive Holiday Bags: Families can choose the holiday foods that align with their traditions, helping everyone feel seen and valued.
  • Community-Centered Distribution: Food will be delivered directly to apartment complexes and senior residences, making it feasible for our neighbors who are immunocompromised, immobile, or have other obstacles to visiting Bread for the City to receive holiday meals.
  • Supporting Local Farmers: Bread for the City is sourcing more produce from Dreaming Out Loud, which partners with Black and brown farmers. This means healthier food for families and support for local agriculture!

How You Can Help:

  • $21 provides a Thanksgiving meal for one person.
  • $42 feeds two individuals.
  • $84 supports a family of four.
  • $168 doubles the impact by feeding two families this holiday season.

Every contribution helps make the holiday season a little brighter for families in need. You can also volunteer, spread the word, or even host a holiday drive in your own community!

Join me in supporting Bread for the City’s Holiday Helpings and help bring joy to families across DC. To learn more, donate, or volunteer, visit www.breadforthecity.org/holidayhelpings/.

Together, we can make a real difference this holiday season. Thank you for considering this important cause!

Warmly,

[Your Name]

P.S. Every dollar counts! A gift of any size will help ensure that families in need can enjoy the holidays with loved ones.
