Happy New Year from the Holly Springs Food Cupboard! | |
Thank You, Jacobs & Partner Contractors! | |

The Christmas season was made a little brighter this year for Holly Springs Food Cupboard clients, thanks to Jacobs and partner contractors.
Jacobs designed and is managing the construction of the FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies site in Holly Springs. They organized their partner contractors listed below to donate funding so the Cupboard was able to purchase gift cards for 450 clients after Thanksgiving through December. These gift cards could be used to purchase the client’s main course choice for their holiday meal.
These December gift cards were in addition to the donation to purchase 350 gift cards for a Thanksgiving main course in November! All the while,Jacobs and contractos have continued regular donations of much-needed needed food items to the Cupboard.
