DONATE
NOW
.

Your financial contributions enable us to make targeted, discounted, bulk purchases of essential foods and personal care products. Your donations also - quite literally - help us keep the lights on by supporting facility, equipment, and vehicle maintenance.

We know how to stretch a dollar. For example, a $40 donation provides groceries for a family of four for one week. A $400 donation can provide eggs for 12 families for the entire year. A recurring monthly gift of $135 provides a family of three with three meals/day for a full year. Just $20 buys a full holiday meal - turkey or ham plus sides and dessert - for a family of six.
