Stories of Impact
“The community really trusts the people who work and volunteer on the MIRA bus. We are able to take some of the services that are offered at clinics and hospitals and bring them to the community, to people’s homes who might not otherwise be able to access care. Most of the patients we see don’t have insurance, so helping them to navigate the system and provide basic health screenings is critical to their health and wellness.” – Kyler Hijmans, Nurse Practitioner

🦃 As the holiday season approaches, let’s come together to ensure that every neighbor has enough food on their table.
🙌 Why Host a Food Drive?
Every can, box, and bag of food can make a world of difference for families in need. By hosting a food drive, you’re not just collecting food— you’re spreading hope and kindness throughout our community.
👏 Get Involved!
Here’s how you can make an impact:
📍Choose a Location: Set up a drop-off point in your neighborhood or workplace.
ℹ Spread the Word: Use social media, flyers, and word of mouth to invite friends and family to contribute.
🥫Select Items: Focus on non-perishables like canned goods, pasta, rice, and baby food.
📅 Set a Deadline: Aim to collect donations before the holiday festivities begin!
🍁 Consider adding a festive twist— host a community potluck or a themed collection day where everyone can come together to celebrate while contributing.
🤝 Let’s Make a Difference Together!
🥘 Your efforts can ensure that every family in our community has the nourishment they need during this special season. Let’s show our neighbors the power of community spirit and fill those tables with love and food! 🍽️❤️
