2024 NCP Cares Charity Initiative Assists Food Pantries
(Syosset, NY, December 3, 2024) – Today is Giving Tuesday, and as part of our 2024 NCP Cares program, National Consumer Panel is pleased to announce donations to two organizations that provide food for families in their community.
The two organizations were selected based on results of a nationwide survey of NCP’s panel members. Panel members nominated hundreds of organizations in their areas to receive this one-time donation.
After reviewing the nominations, NCP staff members narrowed the list to five semi-finalists. We then asked panelists to vote for their top two choices. Voting closed Nov. 13.
2024 NCP Cares recipients:
You Eat I Eat Community Unity Food Pantry
You Eat I Eat Community Unity Food Pantry strives to provide food and support to the poor, indigent veterans, and low-income individuals and families of El Paso, Texas, in a judgement-free environment. The non-profit organization believes that all people deserve access to healthy and delicious food as well as the essential things that will help enhance their quality of life.
“The funds received immediately impacted the community with the purchase of $1,000 worth of turkeys that doubled our original order for that evening,” said Dorene M. Corothers, founder and director. “In total, 800 clients received a meal and 250 clients received a turkey with the trimmings.”
Heartland Hope Mission is more than a pantry – it is the safety net between our neighbors in need and homelessness. Working families struggling to make ends meet receive a week’s supply of groceries, diapers, clothing, and hygiene items. The organization also offers additional services to help families get back on their feet in a hope-filled environment.
“Your support provides fresh produce, meat, milk, and hygiene items,” says Pastor Chelsea Salifou, CEO of Heartland Hope Mission. “Additionally, your contribution allows families in need to have access to clothing, household items, and to meet with a Client Service Specialist to receive navigational services, SNAP application assistance, and connects them to our Job Paths program.”
“At NCP, we believe in giving back to the communities that support us,” says John Toomey, National Consumer Panel’s chief operating officer. “This year’s NCP Cares initiative focused on food pantries because we recognize that so many families are struggling to put food on their tables. We’re proud to support these two incredible organizations with $5,000 donations each, knowing their efforts will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they serve.”
