“I have to pay my bills first…Unfortunately, the bills have to come first because I have to put a roof over the kids’ heads. Food generally comes last on the list.” – Veronica, mum
The cost-of-living crisis is hitting families hard this Christmas, forcing many parents to choose between keeping a roof over their heads or putting food on the table.
People like Veronica face these painful choices daily. As a single mum, Veronica struggles to afford basic needs. With the rising cost of essentials, she’s had to rely on help from SecondBite to provide nutritious meals when there’s not enough at home.
Will you help today so families like Veronica’s don’t have to skip meals this Christmas?
Right now, the Highland Foundation is matching all donations up to $100,000, meaning your gift will double the impact for families in need.
Last Christmas, Veronica found herself unable to provide enough food for her kids. She’s already feeling the weight of this season, saying, “Can we just skip Christmas this year?”
This year, she is preparing to bring some joy to her family with the help of food from SecondBite. As a result of your support, SecondBite can distribute surplus food to thousands of charity partners like Transit Soup Kitchen, that transform it into nutritious meals for those in need.
