HOLIDAY APPEAL CAMPAIGN
Holidays are especially difficult for families with meager or non-existent means of support.
Funds raised provide substantial quantities of food to help several families through the
holidays and throughout the year. We now offer the ability to provide a tax free charitable
donation to the Bastrop County Emergency Food Pantry and Support Center as a gift in honor
of someone dear to you. We will send them a thank you card acknowledging the gift in their
honor from you. You may donate, securely, anytime into our PayPal account using a major
credit card or your own PayPal account. Their card will arrive during the holiday season for
them to display along with their other decorations. They will enjoy the honor that your gift
will go a long way in alleviating food insecurity for a number of families during the holidays.
