A Cedar Rapids nonprofit food pantry in danger of closing announced over the weekend that they are approaching their fundraising goal.
Together We Achieve reported last week they were at risk of closing if it did not meet the goal by Saturday; on Sunday, they announced on Facebook that they are just over 80% of the way towards their goal of raising $50,000.
An anonymous donor has pledged to match every dollar donated, up to $25,000. The money is needed to keep the pantry open through the end of 2024 and into early 2025.
Together We Achieve started as a result of the 2020 derecho. Since then the organization has distributed over 1.9 million pounds of food, over 50,000 pounds of personal care items, nearly 42,000 pounds of household items, and served well over 45,000 meals to-go.
