2025 Holiday Resources

We appreciate Riverscape Counseling for gathering these food and meal resources and generously allowing us to share them with our community.

"Holidays can be difficult for many of those who are struggling with financial limitations! To help support those who may need assistance this Holiday season, we have put together a special issue of Healing Headlines to share links to and information about Holiday food/meal resources!"
