The Open Door Autumn Breakfast
The Open Door continues working to alleviate the impact of
hunger in communities across Essex County while advocating on behalf of those
in need. Food security remains a genuine concern as food prices are still at
above historical-average rates. In 2023,
all food prices are expected to increase 5.8%.
Last week’s Autumn Breakfast at the Beauport Hotel
Gloucester helped jump-start the Holiday Basket and Thanksgiving Food Drive
programs. Thank you to everyone on the
amazing The Open Door team, #statesenatorbrucetarr whose key message was: Life Happens. We Can
Help.
In 2022, The Open Door connected 8,486 people to 1.78 million pounds of food - that adds up to 1.48 million meals! To learn more about The Open Door Food Pantry or to donate, please click https://www.foodpantry.org.
Did you know? A donation of $35 covers the cost of a Holiday
Basket, complete with a turkey and all the fixings, for a local family that
needs a little extra help setting the table this holiday season. Donate today:
