Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude, generosity, and coming together as a community. This holiday season, the Grundy Foundation invites you to join us to help provide a warm, nourishing meal to Bristol Borough families and letting our neighbors feel the comfort of knowing their community cares.
Through our 2026 Thanksgiving Matching Gift Campaign, we aim to support local food pantries working to meet the food and nutritional needs of families throughout Bristol Borough. With your generosity, we can help provide essential perishable and non-perishable foods and bring a little extra warmth to the holiday season for our neighbors.
THANKSGIVING MATCHING GIFT CAMPAIGN
Your generosity can be doubled!
The Grundy Foundation is raising funds to support the five food pantries serving Bristol Borough. Through our matching gift campaign, donations will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of your contribution and helping organizations continue their important work.
Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps local food pantries serve more families and brings our community closer together.
Your donation will support the following organizations:
- Bristol Borough Community Action Group
- Calvary Bristol Food Pantry, Calvary Baptist Church
- The Food Pantry at First United Methodist Church of Bristol
- Community Baptist Church Bread of Life Food Pantry
- Soulful Blessings Food Pantry, Second Baptist Church of Bristol
WHY CASH DONATIONS MATTER
Your cash contribution can have a greater impact. Cash donations give food pantries the flexibility to respond to the most urgent needs and provide nutritious food to more families.
Food pantries can purchase food in bulk at lower prices, stretching each donated dollar further.
Cash donations allow pantries to purchase perishable foods, that cannot be donated, including fresh produce, meat, fish and dairy products.
Cash donations allow food pantries to purchase what’s needed most, helping prevent excess items and food waste.
Cash donations help cover the costs of fuel for food deliveries, electricity for refrigeration and freezers, as well as equipment maintenance. These expenses are essential to keeping food available and safe for families.
Food pantries are facing growing challenges as more families seek assistance as grocery store and gasoline prices put additional pressure on strained household budgets. Recent reporting from NBC News on the challenges facing food banks highlights the difficult choices food assistance organizations must make as they work to meet rapidly increasing needs with limited resources.
Your monetary gift gives our local food pantries in Bristol Borough the flexibility to respond to these challenges, purchase food according to needs, and direct resources where they can make the greatest difference.
A COMMUNITY THAT CARES
At the Grundy Foundation, we believe a strong community begins with caring for one another. Through the generosity of our donors and the dedication of local organizations, we can help make this holiday season brighter for families throughout Bristol Borough.
Join us in sharing the warmth of the season. Together, we can help put a warm meal on the table and remind our neighbors that they are part of a caring community.
Thank you for supporting the Grundy Foundation and for helping us make a meaningful difference in Bristol Borough.
