to make our work possible
Over the past few months, we’ve seen a rising need for food assistance in our community. Thankfully, we’ve been able to respond because of your support. As you watch this video from our Executive Director Caitlin Kirby, please consider making a donation to CEA.
We are thrilled for this community partnership that ensures that students have the food that they need as they head into the weekend and holiday season. And, we are always grateful for the CHS Students Sharing Coalition, who also volunteers at our pantry, weekly.

Dear Neighbors,
Happy Thanksgiving! I want to share my heartfelt appreciation for the outpouring of support that our food pantry has received during this very challenging year. Every online donation, food drive, lemonade stand, volunteer hour, and kind social media comment fuels our small non-profit’s mission: Neighbors Helping Neighbors.
Over the past few months, we’ve seen a rising need-more families visiting CEA for the first time and more neighbors needing to stretch their resources because of increased food costs and financial uncertainties. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been able to respond with expanded food distributions: adding additional donation hours and sites, and increasing our community outreach through partnerships with neighboring pantries and public schools. We are also moving forward with plans to build a new pantry on our Bloomsbury Avenue property in 2026. But, our work is only possible because of you.
Whether you give food, time, or financial support, you are making a real difference for your neighbors in need. On behalf of the CEA board of directors, our staff, and every family we serve—thank you.
Wishing you all warmth, health, and hope this holiday season.
With so much gratitude,
Caitlin Kirby
Executive Director
