Freedom Festival Giving Tree

Give a Little, Help a Lot. Let’s fill the Freedom Foundation pantry together!

Help Fill Shelves, Hearts, & Homes

The holiday season is a time for giving, gratitude, and coming together as a community. This year, we are proud to continue the tradition with the Freedom Festival Giving Tree, benefitting the Freedom Foundation and their ongoing efforts to support local veterans.

The Freedom Foundation serves veterans and their families year-round, providing meals, transitional support, and a welcoming place for anyone who needs it. By helping fill their pantry, you’re doing more than providing food, you’re offering hope, stability, and a reminder that of our community’s gratitude to those who have served.

The Freedom Foundation’s pantry becomes a vital resource for individuals who rely on its shelves for daily essentials. From canned goods and pantry staples to household items and personal care products, these contributions provide comfort and stability to those who have sacrificed so much for our country. The Giving Tree helps ensure their pantry stays well-stocked heading into winter.

How the Giving Tree Works.

Each tag represents something the pantry is in need of, making it easy for donors to contribute exactly what will make the biggest impact. Whether you’re grabbing an extra box of pasta during your weekly grocery run or filling a bag with essentials, every donation helps create a stronger, more supported community. You can find the Giving Tree right outside our office inside the Veterans Memorial Building downtown Cedar Rapids.
