About Our Emergency Food Program
Available every 60 days, offering an emergency supply of food to local individuals and families in need. Services provided Monday–Friday from 9am–12pm and 1pm–3pm. On average, we distribute 70,000 pounds of food each month and feed almost 15,000 people per year.
About Our Children's Weekend Feeding Program
Hunger is one of the most severe roadblocks to learning. We provide enough food to feed a family of four each weekend of the school year. This year we are supporting 167 families; the need is growing!
