Provide monetary support for holiday grocery store gift cards.

Why Grocery Gift Cards?

Providing our families with grocery store gift cards rather than food boxes allows our moms to shop and make their own selections for items special to their culture and family, as well as assists any mom who has issues transporting food boxes.

TO SIGN UP CONTACT: Lisa Herz, lherz@maggiesplace.org

provide a meal Meal support is a crucial way that our community can support our homes and Family Success Center. You can purchase, prepare and serve a meal or order and have it delivered. Gathering together for meals and the social connections around meal times are a central part of our community coming together.

Holiday and ongoing weekly meal needs are available.
