Neighbors Foundation of Grand Island 2022 Donors
The Neighbors Foundation of Grand Island thanks the hundreds of individuals and organizations who contributed to our successful 2022 Holiday Distribution. 76 of your neighbor families were aided with gift cards and food, benefiting 137 adults and 140 children. 63 of our seniors were also assisted in 2 senior apartment complexes. The Foundation is a small, all-volunteer organization; we don’t do this ‘ourselves’, we depend on the community to recognize the need around us, and respond generously. Even in pleasant, suburban Grand Island, there are needs, and you have helped. Thanks to all of you!
Our thanks to the following people and organizations who donated to our ‘Share Your Happiness’ fund drive, or donated food, toiletries and gift cards for our 2022 Holiday Season distribution:
