This post is about more than statistics. Behind every percentage is a family trying to keep food on the table, care for loved ones, and make ends meet.

For neighbors in Christian County facing food insecurity, financial hardship, or other challenges, please know that help is available. Organizations like Least of These, Inc. work every day to provide food assistance, support, and hope to local families when they need it most.

If you or someone you know is struggling, don't wait to reach out. Together, we can make sure no family has to face these challenges alone.

A new report in Missouri shows how much families may really be struggling.

For just $30, you can put a holiday meal on the table for a family right here in our community.

The holidays are about traditions, familiar favorites, and gathering with the people who matter most.

But for families facing food insecurity, the added cost of a holiday meal can make an already difficult season even harder.

Just this week, a young mother contacted Least of These seeking help putting food on the table for her family. During the conversation, our volunteer shared one more piece of good news: her family would also receive everything needed to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal together through our Holiday Meals Program.

That's when the tears began to flow.

She shared that without this program, her family wouldn't have had a Thanksgiving meal this year. But because of the generosity of our community, they will.

That's what your generosity makes possible. One less worry for a parent. Something special for children to look forward to. And a family gathered around the table, sharing a meal and making memories together.

You can make that possible for another local family.

For just $30, you can help provide a holiday meal for a family right here in our community.

How many families will you help this holiday season?

One in four.

It’s a number that becomes a lot harder to ignore when you stop thinking about statistics and start thinking about the kids in the school pickup line. The ones on the soccer field. The friends sitting around your child’s birthday table.

Food insecurity doesn’t always look like what we imagine.

It can look like a parent working hard and still trying to figure out how to make groceries last until payday. A senior quietly choosing between necessities. A family you know, worship beside, work with, or live just down the street from.

And right here in Christian County, thousands of our neighbors are facing those decisions.

Every month, more than 1,200 families walk through our doors looking for a little help and they are met by a community that chooses to show up.

So the next time you count to four, remember that number.

And if you’re able to help: Give. Volunteer. Share this message. Tell someone about the need.

Whatever you do, don’t look away.

Because these aren’t strangers.

They’re our neighbors. And around here, we take care of our neighbors.

Interested in providing holiday meals? For just $30 you can provide a full holiday meal for a family right here in our community.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS: A NEIGHBOR’S STORY. Meet Nathalie.

Behind every number is a person. Behind every family is a story.

At Least of These, we see more than statistics. We see neighbors navigating unexpected challenges, working hard to provide for their families, and doing their best through difficult seasons.

Nathalie’s story offers a glimpse into the lives behind the numbers and a reminder of why this work matters. Because sometimes, having somewhere to turn and a community willing to show up can make all the difference.

We’re grateful to Nathalie for sharing her story with us. ❤️

Watch her story and see the people behind the numbers.
