As your local charity, we ensure that every dollar you donate goes right to those who need it most. There are people in our community who are struggling to stay in their homes, feed their families, and not be overcome by the stress of their situation. The impact of your support goes beyond our ability to buy food and keep our doors open. The stories we hear from our community are deeply moving, such as this one from a neighbor who visited for the first time last week:
“I personally came to The Salt Mine for the first time last week. I was greeted with friendly faces and the utmost respect. I was holding back tears just to be asking for this help. My family is gone, and I have an autoimmune disease that took me out of my career. Just trying to not be on the street and find part time work as a disabled 50 year old man is more than anyone should have to handle. The Salt Mine Food Closet gave me more than just food. It was a very emotional drive back to my rented bedroom, knowing I had food. Thank you to every single person involved.”
There are many in our community who are incredibly thankful for your generosity, because it’s the only way they are making it through financially difficult seasons. If you have yet to donate, please give to our neighbors today. Your recurring monthly donation or one-time gift will bring hope, relief, and much needed security to our neighbors. As the story above shows, our community is deeply grateful for your support.
