Embrace the Spirit of Giving

As we begin the holiday season, there's a collective anticipation for joy, warmth, and togetherness. It's the perfect time to reflect on our blessings and share the spirit of thankfulness. This year, we're thrilled to introduce you to something truly special - The ThankFULL Project.

What is The ThankFULL Project?

The ThankFULL Project is not just a campaign; it's a heartwarming initiative that invites you to be part of a community-driven movement. From November 14 to November 28, 2023, we are on a mission to match $100,000 in funds. Our goal? To ensure that every member of our west central Wisconsin community can celebrate the holidays with a full heart and a full plate.

We're so grateful to the Ulrich Trust for making this very generous match possible. Connie and Pat Ulrich established the Ulrich Trust to benefit students and others in the Eau Claire area. Connie and Pat grew up in Eau Claire, and it was the sister's desire to give back to the community that raised them.

Why Your Support Matters

Your generosity can make a world of difference. The funds we raise will go towards supporting Feed My People Food Bank, a lifeline for many in our community. By visiting our donation page at give.fmpfoodbank.org/thankfull, you become a catalyst for sparking thankfulness and generosity in our community.

Imagine a community where everyone is "thankfull" and, more importantly, "full" this holiday season. Together, we can make that vision a reality. Your support will contribute to filling hearts and plates, ensuring that no one in west central Wisconsin goes without during this special time of year.
