All I Want For Christmas is FOOD!

Description

SICBA will be doing a Christmas Fundraising Event: All I Want For Christmas is Food – It’s the Season for Giving! This fundraising event will take place from now through December 15th.  During this time of year, our local food banks struggle to supply families in the Skagit and Island Counties with enough food for the holidays. Especially this year with COVID, it has caused more families to rely on food banks for their next meal than ever before. 100% of the proceeds from this fundraiser will go to Helping Hands in Skagit County and North Whidbey Help House in Island County. They requested that we provide them with only monetary donations (CHECKS ONLY), as they are being very selective on physical food donations due to the volume they are feeding at this time. It is also the safest and most effective way to fundraise. If you can donate, simply write a check, and make it out to either Helping Hands or North Whidbey Help House (or write two checks if you want to donate to both) and mail your check(s) to the SICBA office located at 15571-A Peterson Road, Burlington WA 98233. There is no minimum dollar amount to donate, any amount is greatly appreciated! You will also be able to write off your donation on your taxes! Every $10 donated feeds one family. Our goal is to raise $5,000 and feed 50,000 Skagit and Island County families this Christmas. The Whidbey Community Foundation and Skagit Community Foundation have partnered with SICBA and will match our donation! If you donate up to $25, your name will be entered into a giveaway for a chance to win a fabulous prize provided by a SICBA member! After that, your name will be entered for every $25 extra that you donate. For example, if you donate $100, your name will be entered four times.

Please Note: Do not make checks payable to SICBA. Make them to either Helping Hands Food Bank or North Whidbey Help House. We are going to deliver your check to those places so if you want to donate to both, we need two checks.
