AJWC Raising Money For Holiday Food Baskets

The Amherst Junior Women's Club Holiday is hoping for another successful year for their Home-Life Project to help local families in need.

This year marks the 36th anniversary of the Amherst Junior Women’s Club Holiday Home-Life Project.

Because of the generosity of our community, we have delivered holiday food baskets to over 1,000 families in Amherst in the past 35 years. What a wonderful demonstration of caring for our neighbors in need. This community project will take place at the Amherst Fire Station on Saturday, December 15.

On this day volunteers from the AJWC and the Lions Club will coordinate and deliver many baskets of food and household essentials to the Amherst families in need. In the baskets we will place baked goods made by our local Girl Scouts, non perishable food items donated by the MOMs Club of Amherst, as well as enough food to enjoy a wonderful family holiday meal.

Last year we delivered to over 45 families. With the ever-changing economy, we suspect that more families will be in need this year. Without the generous help of individuals, area businesses and organizations, this project would not be possible.

We ask that the citizens of Amherst consider making a monetary donation to this project. Any amount you give will make a difference in your neighbors’ hearts and homes this holiday season.
