Our Initiatives

HungerLESS Holidays
HungerLESS Holidays

Everyone looks forward to the joys of celebrating over a family meal during the holiday season. Sadly, the thought of having a Thanksgiving dinner is one that many families dream of, but are not fortunate enough to enjoy. The Hometown Foundation hosts our annual HungerLESS Holidays program to provide turkeys and produce to families suffering from food insecurity during the holiday season.

Hometown Holiday Toy Drive

Every holiday season The Hometown Foundation partners with local businesses and organizations to collect new and unwrapped toys to donate to children in need. The Hometown Holiday Toy Drive allows The Hometown Foundation to share the impactful message of the importance of giving to others.

Families welcoming premature babies often find themselves unprepared for the arrival of such tiny, fragile newborns, many of whom face serious medical challenges. Even the smallest clothing available in stores is usually too big, uncomfortable, or impractical for a baby in critical care. Hometown Hope for Preemies fundraises to purchase custom onesies thoughtfully created with access points for medical tubes, ensuring comfort without compromising care.
