You Can Help
Build Stability in Our Community
Now, more than ever, your support helps ensure that people in our community have enough nutritious food to eat and can remain in stable housing.
FOOD NEED
Help needed to close a critical food gap
For over 40 years, we have provided food for people in our community without ever turning anyone away who met our eligibility requirements. For the first time in our history, we can no longer meet the need with our current resources. We have placed limits on how much food people can take, but we are still running out of food every week.
Opportunities for youth
"You can't ignore the need."
