Holiday Season Food Drive

For November-December, we invite you all to consider taking part in this season of giving with a spirit of giving to support St. Paul neighbors with a food or monetary donation to Keystone with our 2022 Holiday Season Food & Household Product Drive!

Hello CTC Neighbors,

We hope this note finds you all well and staying healthy!

We at Commonwealth Terrace Cooperative (CTC) know that we have a generous community which steps up to support neighbors in need. During the past year alone, did you all know that collectively, CTC residents donated more than 500 pounds’ worth of food and household products for Keystone Community Services?

So, for this upcoming November-December Holiday Season, we invite you all to consider taking part in this season of giving with a spirit of giving to support Saint Paul neighbors with a food or monetary donation to Keystone with our 2022 Holiday Season Food & Household Product Drive!

With monetary donations, your contribution to Keystone goes even further this year. Did you know that even by giving a one time $10 donation to Keystone, you can make it possible to provide upwards of 1,000 pounds worth of fresh produce to distribute to neighbors in need?!

Keystone staff have also shared that giving a $25 donation = 75 nutritious meals! For perspective, I also learned from Keystone that they have observed a THREEFOLD (3x) increase in food shelf recipients currently compared with levels at this time last year (November 2021). So, in no small way, your donation goes to meeting real time demand at Keystone.

Plus, make sure you highlight that you are a CTC resident so we can highlight our Holiday Season Food & Household Products Drive’s grand total impact by the last day of the Drive on Saturday, December 31st.

Thanks all and wishing you all a Happy Holiday season ahead! Feel free to contact me or CTC Management with other Drive questions which you all have,

Cheers & In Solidarity,
