For Seth and Devin, this holiday season looked very different. After Seth unexpectedly lost his job in tech, the couple did everything they could to stay afloat on Devin’s modest teacher’s salary. The two had always been the ones welcoming others in—hosting friends, sharing meals, filling their home with laughter. But this year, their table sat empty.

That changed when they received a holiday food box through their local LGBTQ community center, a proud partner of Second Harvest.

“It wasn’t just food,” Seth says. “It was relief. It was feeling seen. It reminded us we’re part of a community that cares.”
