The pantry currently needs:
These items are provided to families in need on a monthly basis. We try to send easy items when kids are home on break. Many of our families who will receive this are working single parents, so often times the jr high or high school kids are the ones making meals for themselves and younger siblings in the evenings or during breaks.
Thanksgiving – Turkey breast, potatoes, yams/sweet potatoes, stuffing/dressing mix, green beans &/or corn, rolls or boxed biscuit mix, gravy mix, and pie or dessert mix of some sort.
Christmas – Ham, potatoes (or boxed scalloped/au gratin potatoes), Velveeta-type mac ‘n cheese boxes (or blocks of Velveeta and macaroni noodles), green beans &/or corn, gravy mix, and pie or a dessert mix of some sort.
These are for families that are struggling, but are not on our monthly food pantry list. (We have about 20 families that have asked for help who are not on our monthly list.)

Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity around the world.
Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Over the past nine years, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
Giving Tuesday strives to build a world in which the catalytic power of generosity is at the heart of the society we build together, unlocking dignity, opportunity, and equity around the globe.
Giving Tuesday’s global network collaborates year-round to inspire generosity around the world, with a common mission to build a world where generosity is part of everyday life.
The 1st Tuesday of December.
Everyone! Giving Tuesday has been built by a broad coalition of partners, including individuals, families, nonprofits, schools, religious organizations, small businesses and corporations. There are people and organizations participating in Giving Tuesday in every country in the world.
Participating in Giving Tuesday is about joining a movement for generosity, and there are so many ways to do that. Whether you give your voice, goods, your time, or your money, being generous is a way to fight for the causes you care about and help people in need.
While many call on philanthropists, policymakers and grantmakers to repair broken systems, GivingTuesday recognizes that we each can drive an enormous amount of positive change by rooting our everyday actions, decisions and behavior in radical generosity—the concept that the suffering of others should be as intolerable to us as our own suffering. Radical generosity invites people in to give what they can to create systemic change.
There are so many ways small businesses + brands can be a part of this global day of generosity by using their platforms, talents and resources for good.
GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement. In the United States, GivingTuesday is locally-led in hundreds of cities, communities, networks, and coalitions. Use this map to get connected with GivingTuesday in your city, state, or town.
This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to be part of something bigger. Together, we can help ensure that no family in our community goes hungry this holiday season. Let’s use the power of radical generosity to make someone smile, ease a burden, and share hope.
We’re proud to support this cause, and we thank you for joining us in making a difference. Through CraneWerks Cares, our charitable initiative, we’re not just focused on supporting local organizations – we’re committed to backing global movements like GivingTuesday, ensuring our efforts help improve lives on every level. Let’s rally together, show up for our community, and continue to build a world rooted in kindness and shared humanity.
Every act of generosity counts. Everyone has something to give.
Let’s make this Giving Tuesday one to remember.
