Sharing Holiday Meals with Our Community

NOAH is proud to help families enjoy warm, healthy meals this holiday season through our Warm Hearts Full Plates program. On Saturday, December 13, we distributed 300 meal kits to families in our community at distribution events at Palomino and Venado Valley Health Centers.

Thanks to a generous donation from Molina Healthcare and in-kind support from Blue Zones, St. Mary’s Food Bank, and Lyft, we were able to triple last year’s impact. More than 150 pre-registered families received meal kits filled with ingredients for several home-cooked meals.

Each food box included a grocery voucher and holiday staples such as a spiral-sliced ham, eggs, milk, apples, pears, potatoes, onions, broccoli, carrots, canned green beans and corn, beans, rice, and jalapeño cornbread. To make the season even brighter, every family also received a ready-to-build gingerbread house kit to enjoy together.

We were deeply moved by the stories shared by the families we served. Their strength and resilience remind us why programs like this matter. It is an honor for NOAH to support our community and bring hope during the holidays.

This special event would not have been possible without our sponsors, donors, and the amazing volunteers who gave their time to pack and distribute the meal boxes. Their kindness and energy truly showed the spirit of the season, and we are so grateful for their support.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this day possible—whether you donated, volunteered, or supported us from afar. Together, we are building a stronger, more caring community.

Happy holidays from all of us at NOAH!
