Boxes of Hope
In the face of unprecedented challenges to their own businesses, several beloved local Victoria restaurants are pulling together to help others in need and keep their kitchens open. For every $10 you donate you will be providing a warm healthy meal to someone in need, supporting our local restaurant community and helping to keep restaurant staff employed. Please help us nourish Victoria one meal at a time. Boxes of Hope has been live since March 20, 2020 and is currently delivering 200 meals each night.
Contributions of $2,000 feeds 200 people, $1,000 feeds 100 people, and $500 feeds 50 people.
Victoria’s most vulnerable are hungry right now and you can help.
