  • Program 1 [2021]

    BASIC NEEDS:HOLIDAY FOOD: FAMILIES IN EXTREME POVERTY WILL OFTEN FOREGO PLANNED SAVING JUST TO HAVE A TRADITIONAL THANKSGIVING OR HOLIDAY DINNER. PARENTS, WHO WANT THE BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN, WILL SPEND MORE THAN THEY CAN AFFORD TO GIVE THEIR FAMILY SOME SEMBLANCE OF NORMALCY. IT'S A PHENOMENON AHA AND OUR FIELD PARTNERS SEE EVERY HOLIDAY SEASON WHICH IS WHY MORE EVICTIONS HAPPEN AROUND THOSE TIMES AS FAMILIES NO LONGER HAVE ANY SAVINGS TO PAY BILLS. AHA AWARDED $35,560 FOR HOLIDAY FOOD, ALLOWING 3,516 TO HAVE A HOLIDAY MEAL. THANKSGIVING AND HOLIDAY GATHERINGS ARE HOSTED BY FIELD PARTNERS WITH VOLUNTEERS TO ASSIST IN INVITING AND SERVING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.(SEE SCHEDULE O FOR CONTINUATION)
