Seeds of Service Needs Your Help For The Community

Brick 501(c)(3)Nonprofit Organization Seeds of Service is calling on the community for assistance to help families in need during the Christmas holiday.

According to TrentonMonitor.com they first reported that Seeds of Service was looking for outreach help to bring donations to help purchase food and Christmas gifts for the community to families in need. A quote from Christie Winters on TrentonMonitor.com states “We’re in a tough position – we’re down to the bare minimum,” explaining that the coronavirus pandemic has left the outreach scrambling for help. “We don’t even have one Christmas gift.”

Seeds Of Service is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and its food donations ordinarily come from large drives run by parishes and Catholic schools, as well as area schools and corporations such as local media outlets and post offices, area grocery stores and the food bank that partners with them.

“We’ve never experienced this before: nobody did the food drive this year,” Winters said passionately. “Those drives usually carry us through the winter.”

Every food basket SOS donated for the first few weeks for Thanksgiving had to be purchased from its savings. Although Winters applied for Economic Development Administration funding through CARES, the monies granted are based on employees’ salaries. SOS only has seven employees. With COVID closures, the agency is facing a $160,000 shortfall.

Seeds Of Service needs our help to bring in donations to overall help the families on our towns during their most difficult time. If you can spare even a $1, every amount counts. We hope to see Seeds of Service overcome this difficult time with their agency.
