Our organization is a reliable source of fresh food, groceries and personal care items for thousands of people.
The extraordinary growth in need has pushed us to become a large year-round outdoor operation, yet we have retained the feeling of a small, vibrant volunteer community that works together to be sure that no one is worrying about food or foregoing food for other expenses.
Everyone should have enough food.
