This holiday season, United Way of Bay County collaborated with some amazing partners to spread holiday cheer to families in our community! 🎁
With the help from Dow and their leadership teams, 300 food boxes, including meat, produce, and non-perishable items were assembled to be distributed to families in need across the Great Lakes Bay Region.
This included participants from Bay County’s Boys and Girls Clubs, as well as those who are enrolled in our Food Forward program! 🍞🍎🍌
To add a little extra holiday cheer, our friends at IBEW Local 692 provided a holiday box filled with family fun activities to distribute to our Food Forward Program participants!
There are so many logistics when projects like this come to light, and it could not have been possible without our amazing partners including Hidden Harvest, Food Bank of Eastern Michigan, Dow, UA Local 85 for picking up and delivering the boxes across multiple counties, and IBEW Local 692 for delivering them to all of our Food Forward households! Thank you all for providing a wonderful Holiday Season to so many in our community! 🀝
