Holiday Food Drive, September 15 - November 15
Last year 1708 Holiday Food Baskets were distributed. Our goal this year is 1800 Holiday Food Baskets - 1000 for Thanksgiving and 800 for Christmas. (We're always short on turkeys.) Each family will receive a complete holiday meal with a turkey they can cook at home plus food staples to help them get through the end of the month. Distribution will be made to families and through 56 agencies who work with the Mission to their clients.

Recap of 2007 Events
Thank you for Supporting Stuff the WAVE Van at the Zoo!
11/10/07 - Stuff the WAVE Van at the Zoo
On Saturday November 10, we collected 700 food items and $800 in cash and checks between 11 am and 3 pm.
Thank you to everyone who made the event a success, including WNWV and their listeners, the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo (and their employees and guests), and the seniors in Mayfield Heights High School's National Honors Society who received and sorted the donations at the Zoo. 'Thank you' gifts from the Zoo and a choice of a gift from Cleveland Christmas Connection, Northern Ohio Live and the toboggan runs at The Chalet in Mill Stream Run Reservation in Strongsville or a CD were given to those who brought donations.
A special thank you to Rebecca Pasini who saw the event listed on this site and got everyone she knew involved to provide several boxes of food items and $675 in monetary donations.
