Such a great thing the Hall Campbell Ranch does every year!!
Good morning.
First off, I am thrilled to share that I was a food box kid, and I can recall the affect it had on my life and the relief it brought to my mom's face, it was a true act of kindness.
I received 17 nominations this year, and after reading each one, I made the decision to focus on food this holiday season, inspired by the words of those in need.
A large number of the nominations wrote in a need for food with a mention of gifts for the children. With this in mind, I couldn't think of anything more important than providing them with an additional food box containing protein source foods, and something special for the children, as a reminder that they are seen and loved.
I know this list may appear overwhelming, but I can only imagine the challenges of waking up with little to no food to feed your children, and I am committed to act.
Below are the items we will include in the boxes and would appreciate your help in purchasing: ( ✅ means in place)
- 140 food boxes from U-Haul ✅
- 50 Smoked Turkeys ✅

- One unwrapped gift for a 17 to 18-year-old boy or girl, with the age clearly indicated on the outside of the box.
I need to have the unwrapped gifts by December 12th and food items by December 15th.
After these dates, I can take the money that we’ve set aside from the Hall ranch and the donated monies and I will finish purchasing groceries, nominated familied presents, unwrapped presents or gifts for the “at risk children”.
Thank you for anything you can do.
