As our community faces growing uncertainty, more of our neighbors are being impacted by the current federal disruptions. Over 11,000 federal employees across our region are experiencing furloughs or wage interruptions, and for many, this marks the first time they’ve ever needed to seek food assistance.
At Eloise’s Cooking Pot Food Bank, we are witnessing this need firsthand. Families who once donated are now in line for food. Parents are skipping meals so their children can eat. Seniors are choosing between medication and groceries. Hunger is not a distant issue—it’s happening right here in Pierce County, and the need grows every day.
We cannot allow hunger to remain hidden or ignored.
Now, more than ever, we need your partnership.
Your tax-deductible donation provides direct relief to families in crisis. Every dollar helps us purchase and distribute nutritious food to children, veterans, seniors, and working families who simply need help getting through this season.
Please consider making a gift today to help us continue our critical work:
Donate – The Making a Difference Foundation
Here’s how you can make an immediate impact:
- $25 provides a week’s worth of groceries for a senior in need.
- $100 feeds a family of four for an entire month.
- $500 supports home delivery for families who cannot reach our food bank.
If you are unable to give financially, we invite you to volunteer or help spread awareness by sharing this message within your networks—at work, in your faith community, or on social media.
Together, we can ensure that no one in Pierce County goes hungry.
