On behalf of the NeighborUp Teen Board, thank you for your generous donation to our Summer Stock Up Food Drive. Your support means so much—not just to us, but to the thousands of kids and families in our community who rely on NeighborUp for consistent, reliable access to nutritious food.

When school cafeterias close for the summer, many students lose the meals they count on during the year. Your donation helps ensure that no child in our community has to face summer hungry. Because of you, families will have full pantries, children will have healthy meals, and our community will be stronger.

NeighborUp is now in its second year as a unified organization, and the impact has been incredible. In 2025, NeighborUp provided $5.7 million in food and financial assistance, supporting more than 11,000 neighbors—a 50% increase from what our two organizations served separately the year before. Your gift helps make this kind of growth possible.

With your partnership, NeighborUp continues to deliver essential services including food support, financial assistance, case management, job‑readiness training, career coaching, adult education, and community advocacy. Your generosity fuels these programs and directly changes the lives of neighbors like Sara, who recently shared:

“When I first met you, I was in a dark place. Talking with you and being part of the program gave me hope and the strength to move forward. You helped me with my immediate needs, and because of that support, I was able to find clarity, search for a job, and I’m grateful to say that I am now working. Thank you as well for extending my food benefits. Your kindness made a real difference in my life.”

As the Teen Board, we care deeply about making sure kids and teens like us have what they need to thrive—especially during the summer months when support can be hardest to find. Your contribution to our food drive helps us live out NeighborUp’s core values of empathy, dignity, and respect, and ensures we can continue offering help for today and hope for tomorrow.

Thank you again for your generosity and for believing in the power of neighbors supporting neighbors.

With sincere gratitude,
The NeighborUp Teen Board
