Donate - You Can Make a Difference!
Every $1 donated provides 5 meals to those in need. There are 60,000 working poor families, children and seniors in need of food each month, an increase of 20-30%. Half of those served are children with no other resource for a nutritious meal. Feed hope and change the face of hunger in our community!
