Our Holiday Hope Boxes are filled with a complete holiday meal, ensuring that families can enjoy a festive and delicious feast together. But our boxes offer more than just food. They are packed with additional items tailored to the specific needs and traditions of each holiday:

Easter: Our Easter boxes bring the joy of springtime right to your doorstep. Each box includes an Easter basket filled with eggs, candy, and toys, ensuring a fun and memorable Easter egg hunt for the children.

July 4th: As we celebrate our nation’s independence, we also want to support our children’s education. Our July 4th boxes include essential back-to-school supplies such as notebooks, pencils, and backpacks.

Thanksgiving: As the weather turns colder, we aim to keep our families warm. Our Thanksgiving boxes include coats for each family member, providing warmth and comfort throughout the winter season.

Christmas: To make Christmas morning magical, our boxes include stockings filled with gifts and goodies. We hope these small surprises will bring smiles to the faces of both children and adults alike.

In addition to these offerings, we are deeply committed to respecting the dignity of those we serve. We personally shop for high-quality, nutritious food items for each box. This personal touch ensures that every meal is not only nourishing but also honors the individuality and preferences of each family.

 Sanctuary at Homestead is excited to introduce the Sustainable Food Project. This initiative is designed to empower individuals and families to supplement their food sources, learn valuable skills, and adopt healthier eating habits.

Here’s what the Sustainable Food Project entails:

Learning to Plant: We believe that growing your own food is a powerful and transformative experience. We provide seeds, tools, and guidance on how to plant, care for, and harvest a variety of vegetables and fruits. Our goal is to help participants develop a green thumb and a deeper appreciation for nature’s bounty.

Learning to Cook: Preparing your own meals can be a rewarding and creative process. We plan to implement in 2024 to supply a range of recipes. Additionally, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to prepare delicious and nutritious dishes from scratch. Our aim is to inspire a love for cooking and the confidence to experiment in the kitchen.

Learning to Eat Healthier: Making better food choices is key to overall health and well-being. We supply comprehensive information, practical tips, and ongoing support on how to make healthier food choices and develop better eating habits. Our goal is to promote a balanced diet that is both satisfying and nourishing.

Through the Sustainable Food Project, Sanctuary at Homestead aims to foster self-sufficiency, promote healthy eating, and cultivate a sense of community. We believe that everyone has the right to fresh, healthy food, and the knowledge to grow and prepare it themselves. We encourage meet ups to trade any excess vegetables and fruit with other participants.
