We are Reaching Out Now and giving back through the “Give to Give Back” family initiative
During this time of crisis, Reaching Out Now is working with the Principals of Warren County Public School System with the support of our corporate sponsors to help local families. In partnership with Deliteful Food Catering and collaborating with Hazard Mill Farm, Manor Line Ranch and area restaurants, PaveMint, IHOP, Ledo’s Pizza, TGI Friday to provide meals for 50 local families that have the greatest need for additional meals. With schools closed, families and children have limited access to meals. Warren County Public School Food Services is providing breakfast and lunch to our students; we are extending that support to provide meals for the whole family unit.
We need your help.
Our goal is to raise enough money to support meals for 50 families, 3X per week, for the next 3 months. Meals will be simple, yet hearty and will be prepared by restaurant partners generously donating their time and their resources to help. Together we can support our local families as we also support our local restaurant businesses.
