As we reflect on our 10th annual Hunger Heroes event, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible support from our community. This milestone year was an extraordinary success, and it’s all thanks to YOU! Whether you volunteered at the Food Drop, helped package meals, hosted or donated to a food drive, sponsored our event, or served on the planning committee — you made Thanksgiving special for 1,000 families on the SouthCoast.
The Hunger Commission delivered 1,000 Thanksgiving meals to local program, ensuring families across our community could enjoy a warm and festive holiday meal. This achievement reflects the power of teamwork and the compassion of our Hunger Heroes.
We are deeply grateful to our sponsors who made this year's event possible:
Bristol County Savings Bank, BankFive, Neto Insurance Agency, Sam Karam & Sons General Contractors, South Coast Improvement Company, Care Free Homes, Guild Mortgage - Megan Faber, LePage and Sons Roofing, Neighborhood Auto Services, and The Jake Fabian Memorial Fund. Your generosity fuels our mission and brings hope to so many.
A big thank you to FUN 107 and 1420 WBSM for spreading the word and energizing the day. A special shout-out to Michael Rock and Gazelle, who kept the music alive and the atmosphere vibrant all day long.
