So far we have raised $15,240 toward our year-end goal of $100,000
This year, our year-end fund drive is focused on our sanctuary pantry
For nine years, the Sanctuary Pantry in Oceanside has remained open – even through COVID – when many others were forced to pause operations. Today, we distribute about 8,000 pounds of food each month to families, seniors, and working parents striving to make ends meet. This is a vital program that serves our most vulnerable neighbors.
help secure this safety net in these uncertain times by making a year-end gift to our Sanctuary Pantry today
Our goal is to raise $100,000 by December 31st, 2025. Every dollar raised in this campaign will go to support our food pantry operations. $50,000 covers our pantry operations for the current fiscal year, which runs through June of 2026. Our goal is to raise an additional $50,000 to meet the growing needs of food insecure neighbors and secure these vital services through our next fiscal year, to June 2027.
But to reach this HUGE goal, we need your support. There are three meaningful ways you can help:
Make a year-end gift to our Sanctuary Campaign over and above your regular membership giving. Use the form on the right to make a year-end gift today.
Participate in the “Walk in Jane’s Shoes” challenge on one Saturday in December. Walking in solidarity with people on SNAP, even for one day, helps us understand why this safety net is so essential. The sign up, click here: oceansidesanctuary.org/janes-shoes
Share this campaign with your friends, family, and co-workers who are not OSC members. Invite them to make a gift. Consider inviting them to participate in the “Walk in Jane’s Shoes” challenge alongside you. Or, consider hosting a small dinner gathering to introduce them to the work of the Sanctuary Pantry. We will provide you with simple materials and talking points so you can share why this work matters. To get those materials, click here: oceansidesanctuary.org/pantry
OSC is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. All gifts are tax deductible. To designate your gift to our Pantry operations, choose “Sanctuary Pantry” from the designation drop-down menu on the giving form. 100% of those funds will be used for the Sanctuary Pantry.
