WAYS TO HELP
Please help our neighbors in need with your donation of cash, food or personal care items. We are currently serving around 750 families each week and distributing nearly 30,000 pounds of food - the vast majority being fresh produce and healthy proteins. Only with your help can we continue to meet this unprecedented demand.

If you are able to do so, a monetary donation is perhaps the best way to help us continue our work. We use these funds to purchase healthy food at wholesale prices and, quite literally, keep the lights on (and our refrigerators running). We have no paid staff. Click the "Donate" button to see a variety of secure online payment options.
If you would prefer to send us a check, you can find our address on the Contact page. All gifts can be made in memory of or in honor of someone you feel would value and appreciate our work.
Don't forget to check if your employer has a matching gift program!
We also gratefully accept supermarket gift cards.
