Thank you for considering a donation!
Dear Friends and Supporters,
Join us at IFM in making a meaningful impact this holiday season! Each year, we serve 10,000-13,000 individuals, and last year, we provided Thanksgiving and Christmas food to 8,000 Nevada County residents. This year, we anticipate even greater need.
As the holidays approach, our goal is to provide each client family with special ingredients for a holiday meal!
Every donation has an impact!
IFM’s strong buying power and incredible volunteers, multiplies its impact even more! Your support during this time will play a crucial role in helping us address food insecurity in our community, providing vital support to individuals and families in need.
Over the past few years, we have witnessed a significant increase in the number of families seeking assistance from IFM. In 2023, we witnessed over 97,000 visits to IFM from our neighbors in need, signifying a 6% increase compared to 2022 and a whopping 61% increase compared to 2021!
The rising demand underscores the ongoing challenges many in our community face, and we are committed to meeting this need to the best of our ability.
