Food And In-Kind Donations
Kindness feeds the world.
We are all one bad month, week, or day away from needing emergency food services. And so, we strive to provide our customers with nutritious meals like we would our own families. We depend on and accept a wide variety of donations, but to promote long-term physical and mental wellness, healthier food options such as low-fat, low-sugar and reduced-sodium products are most appreciated.
On average, neighbors receive approximately 70-80 pounds of food per shopping visit. That is enough food to sustain a neighbor for about two weeks.
Run a Food Drive
on our Behalf
Take part in empowering your community. We provide marketing materials as needed so that you can collect highly-needed items and get the word out about hunger and food insecurity in our neighborhood. Together, we can change lives.
