We’re excited to share that we are over halfway to our $10,000 goal for the Hope for the Holidays campaign! Will you help us cross the finish line? Your support will ensure we can provide up to 300 Christmas Food Baskets to Hampton Roads families in need.

How many families will you join JCOC in helping this Christmas?

$15 provides non-perishable food items for one family.
$30 provides a holiday basket, complete with a turkey or ham for one family.
$50 provides non-perishable food items for three families.
$100 provides a holiday basket, complete with a turkey or ham for three families.

Together, we can make sure no one goes without a meal, or hope, this Christmas. Please give online, or help fill a food basket by donating the following items:

Mashed/Scalloped Potatoes (bag/boxed)
Stuffing Mix (bag/boxed)
Gravy (packet/canned)
Green Beans (canned)
Cream of Mushroom Soup (canned)
Sweet Potatoes/Yams (canned)
Cranberry Sauce (canned)
Dessert Mix (bag/boxed)

Turkey and Ham Donation Notice: Due to limited storage space at our temporary food pantry location, JCOC can only accept the non-perishable food items listed above. If you want to donate a turkey or ham, please make a monetary donation. The needed quantity of meat will be purchased closer to the basket distribution dates.
