The Need is Here and the Need is Now
Our annual Appeal for Meals raises vital funds to support our Fresh Food Pantries, Backpack, Summer Meals, Outreach and Hot Meals programs. While life continues to return to ‘normal,’ need for local food assistance remains at an all-time high!
Our Hot Meals program continues to average 7,500+ meals each month, almost double the average from January 2020.
Family budgets remain tight—food coming home with children through our Backpack and Fresh Food Pantry programs means nutritious meals and less stress for parents.
