Happy New Year from the Holly Springs Food Cupboard!

2025: A Year of Growing Need & Incredible Hearts

Looking back at 2025, Holly Springs Food Cupboard numbers tell a powerful story: our community’s need is growing. Last year, the Cupboard saw a significant rise in demand, with household distributions jumping 9% and the Thanksgiving program expanding by a record 15%.

Because you answered every call for help, whether through financial contributions, food drives, or Amazon Wish List clicks, the Cupboard was able to provide 6,794 distributions and over 7,200 student bags to neighbors in need. Stay tuned for the February newsletter as tallies are completed for pounds of food donated and volunteer hours!

We are deeply moved by the way Holly Springs stepped up to ensure Cupboard services continued to neighbors facing food insecurity. Thank you for making 2025 a year of hope, and for standing with us as we head into a new year of service!

Around the Cupboard Last Month

A December Filled with Kindness & Generosity

Happy New Year, Holly Springs! We are ringing in the first of January with so much gratitude for the incredible wave of generosity that carried us through the holiday season.

Throughout the year, food and monetary donations kept Cupboard services available to those facing food insecurity.

Whether you dropped off a single bag of groceries, organized a massive food drive, donated tips or fundraiser proceeds, or sent a "gift" via our Amazon Wish List—thank you!
