How You Can Help
Donations
In-kind donations help us access goods and services that would otherwise be unaffordable. They are significant part of our operation.
Through your gifts we are able to make direct impact into peoples lives
Food
Feeding people facing hunger is about more than simply providing food. It’s about providing wellness, nourishment and strength.
We recognize that hunger is a complex issue. When people face hunger, they often struggle to meet other basic needs as well — such as housing, employment, and healthcare.
Clothing
We provide for the distribution of clothing donated by area businesses, striving to provide adequate clothing for families, homeless person, those in transition from relocation or re-entry into the workforce, or any person with a need.

What difference does a meal make in a person's life? Hear it directly from our neighbors navigating food insecurity:
• “I am a certified nursing assistant at a nursing home. My hours were cut, but I know soon enough I’ll be back to 12-hour shifts. This food helps monumentally in the meantime.” - Shaneka
• “I’ve been unemployed for about two to three weeks now. We’ve just been really tight with everything we do. I’ve been going to food pantries, and the school gives away food for the kids. I think these [mobile food pantries] are a blessing from the Lord." - Jimmy
• "This means that I have peace of mind. This means my son will be able to eat. I’ll skip, but I won’t let my baby go hungry, so that’s one big thing not to worry about.” -Starlesha
