Christmas Challenge Initiative 2020
-
“Christmas Challenge Initiative 2020" is an initiative that aims to aid a minimum of 2,000 needy and struggling families in Southern Connecticut, Westchester, New York City, Brooklyn, and Washington, D.C. with boxes of free food products that will allow each family to make its own Christmas meal on December 25, 2020. The holidays are expensive for all people, and while there are several charities that provide such assistance to low-income families, “Christmas Challenge Initiative 2020!” seeks to nourish the whole person.
There is another important dimension of this initiative. While each box will satisfy hunger, it will also do much more. Each of the minimum 2,000 boxes will include a card with one of Padre Pio’s personal prayers. We intend to feed not only the body, but also the soul. -

Donate boxes of food to the poor
Help us raise additional funds by donating $20 or more, or by becoming an Ambassador. Ambassadors agree to make an initial minimum donation of $100 and help boost the initiative's fundraising endeavors by sharing information about the initiative on social media networks and with friends and family. Funds raised will be used to purchase and distribute boxes of food products. Each box of food products has a wholesale cost of about $20.
