Overview
Mission
We serve those in our community who are seeking aid by providing food, knowledge, and tabletop gaming.
What it reported doing in 2025
Providing Food to Low-Income Communities Holiday Hope Box Program: The mission of our Holiday Hope Box Program is to provide a beacon of hope and joy to families in need during the holiday season. We believe that every family deserves to celebrate these special occasions, regardless of their circumstances. 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. In 2024 the Holiday Hope Box Program served approximately 1700 individuals. Sustainable Food Program: This initiative is designed to empower individuals and families to supplement their food sources, learn valuable skills, and adopt healthier eating habits. We provide seeds, tools, and guidance on how to plant, care for, and harvest a variety of vegetables and fruits. 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. In 2024 the Sustainable Food Program served 26 households.
