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.

FOOD.
We strive to provide nutritious food that will help our clients live healthy lives! We encourage donations of foods that align with our Nutrition Policy whenever possible.
Home garden donations of fresh produce are highly welcomed! Fresh fruits and vegetables are the #1 item requested by our clients.
Store-bought items should be in their original packaging and within the manufacturer’s “sell by/best by” date.
How to Donate:
Small non-perishable donations are welcome every day from 8am – 8pm through our Donations Closet located to the left of our receiving garage door.
Garden vegetable donations should not be left in the closet and should be brought INSIDE Mon-Sat 9:30 am - noon.
We cannot accept refrigerated or frozen items from home appliances due to USDA regulations.
