In 2020, the core mission of A Simple Gesture-Anacortes, ‘Feed the hungry in Anacortes,’ was carried out more than ever before. Through the generosity of donors, outreach expanded to include:
· nearly 1,000 food bags delivered to children who are food-insecure during summer and winter breaks
· extra food assistance through Meals on Wheels for homebound seniors
· Thanksgiving meats for families at the Anacortes Family Center and meals for Cap Sante High School families
· food table at a public housing complex
· outdoor Red Bag Pantries
· emergency food boxes available to anyone in need
· Christmas meats for The Salvation Army food bank and Anacortes Family Center
· thousands of pounds of food donated to the local food bank
We send our sincerest gratitude to the Anacortes community members and businesses that gave to support this mission. Your compassion and generosity have been a bright light in our community this past year.
