Fueling Hope: Emergency Meal Kits Thanks to Pepsi Grant
Lori Leister, Assistant Director of Mental Health Services, carefully packs an emergency food kit made possible by a generous Pepsi Grant, ensuring that essential meals and snacks reach those in need.
Thanks to a generous Pepsi grant, our Next Door Program has been able to provide emergency meal kits to participants in need. Each kit includes items for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks, with pet food available when needed. Whether someone is staying in a hotel or living outdoors, these kits offer food when it’s needed most—even for pets.
Elise, Program Coordinator of Next Door, shared, “The Pepsi grant has been vital in providing meals to participants in our program. The ability to give out quick meals and snacks to people staying in hotels or living outdoors is a great privilege.”
With easy-to-open pop-top items and plastic silverware included, these kits have already helped dozens in our community. We are incredibly grateful for the Pepsi grant and our dedicated Next Door staff, whose compassion has made a meaningful impact on many lives.
