William Hall Rodgers

CHRISTMAS FOOD BASKET PROGRAM

The William Hall Rodgers Christmas Food Basket Fund is an original in Cleveland’s philanthropic scene. Dating to the depression-era, this program was established to help neighbors in need and has continued through the decades as a source of goodwill during the holiday season. This free resource facilitated by United Way of the Ocoee Region is available to all Bradley and Polk County residents.

Since the 1940s, Bradley County’s William Hall Rodgers Food Basket Fund has made spirits brighter by providing an average of 700+ Christmas food boxes to local families in need every holiday season. Your generous support ensures United Way can continue to meet this need in our community.

$50 = 1 Christmas Food Box for a Local Family
