Y’all may know that we have been hosting the food drive Hillside Holiday Hunger Drive Through for ten years now.

In honor of a wonderful decade of giving from all of you, we want to challenge you to donate online to Loaves & Fishes/Friendship Trays. Each dollar buys one pound of food.

When we reach $10,000 in online contributions, we will donate $5000 to take us to the goal of $15,000.

As a bonus, there is anonymous donor who will match all donations in December. So our combined $15k means $30k or 120,000 pounds of food to feed those in need.

Please donate using this link or text “Hillside” to 44321.

Thank you!

Thank you to Charlotte on the Cheap for the shoutout in their Holiday Lights guide. There are some amazing light displays in our area! I can’t wait to check them all out.

Hillside lights and food drive drop off should be up by the first (and definitely second) weekend in December.

A list of the biggest, best Christmas light displays, in the Charlotte area. Most are synchronized to music which you can listen to through your car radio.
