Coyote Moon launches holiday food drive to benefit Belfast Area Soup Kitchen
BELFAST — Coyote Moon will hold a holiday food drive to benefit the Belfast Area Soup Kitchen. The initiative aims to support the community by collecting non-perishable food items for those in need during the holiday season.
From now until December 24, 2024, customers are encouraged to bring non-perishable items such as canned goods, pasta, rice, and other staple foods. In return, they will receive a 10% discount on their next purchase during the holidays at Coyote Moon.
As is the case with all communities, there are families struggling to make ends meet, according to Coyote Moon, in a news release. This year has been especially difficult for many.
“We believe in giving back to our community, especially during the holiday season when the spirit of giving is at its peak,” said Lisa Fagin, owner of Coyote Moon. "When I was a young single mother, providing gifts was a luxury I didn't have. Baking and cooking together was a gift. A gift I now share with my grandchildren. Gifts will be outgrown but time together in the kitchen and the dinner table, for me, is priceless. We know this has been a difficult year but we hope that our customers will join us in making a difference for those in need by participating in our food drive.”
The Belfast Area Soup Kitchen serves as a vital resource for many in the community, providing nutritious meals and support to individuals and families facing food insecurity. They provide a safe community where guests can find food, comfort, and hope for the future in an atmosphere of dignity and respect. All collected food items will be donated directly to the soup kitchen to help them continue their essential work.
