If you woul

d like to volunteer with us, sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0948ADAC2BA31-53381786-hillside. We especially want to thank the the neighbors on Hillside Ave and the surrounding streets for decorating so lovely, helping with the food drive and putting up with the traffic on the street over the holidays! Hillside Avenue started hanging lights on the street as a neighborhood after being inspired by a similar neighborhood in Greensboro. Mason Schmitt, a teenager, created the idea to collect food for Loaves & Fishes as part of their Girl Scout Gold Award in 2012. The first year, the drive raised 20,000 pounds of food for people in our community living with hunger. Last year, 98,000 pounds of food.

Happy New Year!!! And thank you for all your support! Thanks to your generous donations of money and food to Nourish Up...
