Holidays Without Hunger: A Project Give Initiative

At Project Give, we believe generosity grows strongest when communities come together. This holiday season, thanks to one incredibly generous donor- the DeRoche Family, we’re launching Holidays Without Hunger- an initiative supporting five nonprofit organizations across Northeast Ohio.

The goal is simple:
Put food and dignity directly into the hands of people who need it most.

Through grocery gift cards, meal support, and essential supplies, this gift is already creating powerful impact. Here’s how each organization will benefit this holiday season.

Family Promise of Greater Cleveland

Family Promise of Cleveland
​Family Promise provides transitional shelter for 21 families working toward stability and independence. Their units include kitchens that allow families to cook for themselves—though many move in before benefits like SNAP are approved.

This year, every family will receive a $100 grocery gift card, ensuring they can prepare a meaningful Thanksgiving meal and stock their kitchens with what they need most.

​As Lisa Fritz shared:
“Gift cards for Thanksgiving will be a huge blessing.”
