BREAKING: The United Way of the Lowcountry has just launched an urgent Thanksgiving campaign aimed at supporting families severely affected by the ongoing government shutdown. The Thanksgiving Meal Campaign is actively seeking donations to provide families in Jasper and Beaufort counties with meals for the holiday, featuring turkeys and traditional sides.
As families struggle to make ends meet due to the shutdown, the campaign highlights a pressing need for community support. For just $40, donors can provide a Thanksgiving meal serving four people, helping to alleviate some of the financial burdens many are facing. Donations can be made through the campaign’s dedicated website.
“This campaign is about more than a meal,” emphasized Dale Douthat, President and CEO of United Way. “It is about self-sufficiency. By meeting an immediate need, we give families the breathing room to stay on their feet, pay rent, keep the lights on, and focus on what comes next.”
This initiative not only addresses immediate hunger but also empowers families to maintain stability during these challenging times. The holiday season should be a time of gathering and gratitude, and United Way’s efforts aim to ensure that no family is left behind.
The urgency of this campaign cannot be overstated. As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, families need support now more than ever. Community members are encouraged to act quickly and contribute to this vital cause. Every donation counts and plays a crucial role in helping local families celebrate the holiday with dignity and hope.
For those wishing to contribute, visit the United Way of the Lowcountry’s website to make a donation and help bring a festive meal to families in need. Your support can make a significant difference in our community during this critical time.
