MAKING EVERY MEAL COUNT
We are committed to fighting food insecurity by providing essential support to individuals in need. Through our partnership with Feed More, we serve up to 250 individuals on the first and third Wednesday of each month, ensuring that healthy food reaches the community. Our passionate volunteers play a crucial role by assisting with registration, unloading delivery trucks, sorting food items, and distributing them from 8 AM to 12 PM. This initiative not only helps nourish those in need but also offers a rewarding group opportunity for those who want to make a difference.
Join us in fostering community support and improving lives, one meal at a time!
Food Donations
We are accepting food donations to supplement our monthly distribution efforts to those in need by collecting essential canned goods. We specifically seek items like tuna, canned meats, stews, and soups to ensure our community has access to nutritious meals. You can make a meaningful impact by organizing a food drive at your workplace, place of worship, or school. Together, we can create a ripple effect of kindness and support for those who rely on our resources, fostering a spirit of community and compassion in our efforts to nourish hungry hearts.
