The Director's Note

This year has brought its share of ups and downs - uncertainty, rising costs, record numbers for pantry visits and more neighbors needing support than ever before. Yet through it all, one thing has remained constant: the incredible generosity of this community.


Whether through monetary gifts, volunteer hours, or food donations, you stepped up every time we asked for help. That steadfast spirit of neighbors caring for neighbors is what makes this community so remarkable. Thank you for your continued compassion and support.


The board, staff, and I wish you a joyful and peaceful holiday season. We look forward to continuing to serve our neighbors, friends, and families in our community in 2026 and beyond.


With Gratitude,

Jennifer Collins

Executive Director

Christian Neighbors will be closed between December 24-January 4 for staff and volunteers to rest, reset, and spend time with our families and loved ones.


We will return to the office on January 5, 2026!

Happy Holidays!
