Empower Change: Join Us on Giving Tuesday to Make a Difference!

Every dollar has significant impact.

Thank you to the many generous donors who helped us reach and surpass our 2021 $75,000 goal! Nearly $84,000 was raised, equaling over 415,000 servings of Tender Mercies. Look for this page again in November as we celebrate Giving Tuesday 2022.

The first Tuesday after Thanksgiving comes after a long weekend of consuming. Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday offer us an opportunity to bless our loved ones with gifts. Giving Tuesday presents a palate-cleansing time to think of others. On Giving Tuesday 2021, join us in giving the gift of nutrition to those in need.

All funds received for Giving Tuesday will go toward Tender Mercies, MFB's protein-enriched rice and beans meal. Lock in your gift now!
