Holton’s Heroes Food Fund

 
 
 

IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19

We are in unprecedented times. As we watch our communities and country be tested like never before, we recognize that our organization and its supporters have an opportunity to be part of the solution.

Our hearts go out to those directly affected by COVID-19 (coronavirus), and as well to the thousands, if not millions, of people that are prevented from working and ultimately will not get paid over the next few weeks to months due to the attempt to stop the spread of this deadly disease.

We understand most families depend on their respective weekly or bi-weekly paychecks to keep their water running, electricity on and refrigerators full of food, especially during a national emergency like the one we are experiencing right now. We also understand many families don’t have the financial means to take such a sudden hit without spiraling into debt, or worse yet, simply not being able to afford life’s necessities.

In an effort to help our brothers and sisters in need, we’ve set up the Holton’s Heroes Food Fund to help pediatric brain injury survivors and their loved ones receive groceries for their home, where they are safest. We are dedicating $10,000* in an effort to help families who need it most.

Read the eligibility requirements below and then tap on the application button to apply.

UPDATE: As of March 24, 2020 we successfully reached our $10,000 grant limit. Over the past week, we were able to offer financial assistance to 25 families from around the country represented in 14 different states. Thank you to everyone that donated and made this effort possible.

Please Stay safe and #stayhome.
