To everyone that took the plunge, raised money, volunteered their time or came out to support a plunger! Together we raised $385,000 to provide food and financial assistance to members of our community! Southampton’s most highly anticipated event of the year, the Polar Bear Plunge, live and in-person! On Saturday, December 11th, over 300 of our neighbors took the plunge and we welcomed nearly 1,000 people to come out and support them! All proceeds directly benefit our year-round Food Pantry and Assistance Programs, that currently serve more than 1,600 families in the Town of Southampton. This year’s goal was to raise $350,000 and we blew it out of the water with $385,000 in support! THANK YOU! For those already struggling to make ends meet, it will take years to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, we distributed 176,413 meals worth of food nearly the same as 2020 and triple 2019, illustrating how our community is very much still struggling and depends on your continued support. The generosity from donors like you allows us to bring relief to our neighbors in need, whether it is providing food for a local family, medical transportation, or assisting with rent gaps and utility bills. Follow the instructions below to register as an Individual, Team, or Join a Team! This year, we have the option to set up a personal fundraising page to send to your family and friends, and share on social media. Track donations right from your fundraising page and stay up-to-date on your fundraising total! Wear a costume, join a team, get a PBP hat, and get freezin’ for a local reason!
