    • Winter Solidarity event – Kara H.
      • Kara H. – A lot of you have probably seen our advertisements for this event. We did a Holiday Solidarity event on November 21st. Goal of 100 meal kits. Ended up doing 350 families, plus 30 with mutual aid. We thought it’d be great to do it again 2 weeks later. 300 families, then 500 families. Open form for anyone in this meeting who would like a meal. Form will be open until 9 PM today. We did a great job fundraising, great coalition partners. Tough year. Raised over $20,000, $2,000 away from our final goal. Any group appropriate questions?
