Solving The Problem
Millions of individuals, working families, and children today in America are facing hunger or food insecurity. The pandemic has only made this situation worse. We are working together to solve this crisis and bring relief to those in need.
Donors
Donors help us to supply quality and nutritious food to the local communities we serve. As a donor you will be putting your excess food to good use and may be eligible to receive certain tax benefits.
Partners
Partners coordinate the efforts between donors, volunteers, and other recipient organizations who manage food distribution. They are committed to bringing food stability to those most at risk in our communities.
Community
Hunger can happen when those with low or fixed incomes need to choose between paying for medication, rent, and other expenses or their food. No child should face hunger alone.
