The families and staff of MESA are continually building bonds and working hard to support one another! When our Toyota families first began coming together in 2013, it was clear that supporting each other in times of need was an idea that was shared by all.  Over the years, MESA families have given rides to one another when vehicles are malfunctioning, shared tips on homework help, provided a shoulder to lean on in times of trouble, and so much more.

When it became apparent that several families needed extra support during the holiday season and the winter intercession, Toyota families gathered together food, winter gear, and toys to share with those in need. As a team, we were able to put together 5 large baskets and 3 additional smaller baskets!

The items were gathered by adults and children alike and put together in boxes donated from a local church. Each basket was decorated with wrapping paper for that extra holiday touch!

The combined experiences of our families and a little bit of internet research were the foundations for the items collected.

Have everyone bring their groceries into the office (or other central location), in either reusable grocery bags or a laundry basket. Then, a few volunteers from your group can drop everything off at the pantry we've linked you with.

Or make a holiday dinner basket by yourself or with your family! If you're making fewer than five baskets, we suggest that you google "food pantry" along with your zip code to find a nearby pantry, and then contact them about dropping off your donation.
Happy Holidays!
