Our mission is to fulfill one of the basic needs of humanity, “hunger”, by supplying wholesome and nutritional food at no cost to the recipient. This Food Distribution Program supports the nutritional needs of individuals by providing wholesome food to supplement their diet, while helping stretch their food dollars. Volunteers distribute the nutritious, pre-packaged, shelf-stable boxes weekly. Each box contains nutrient-rich food, e.g. fruit and vegetables, that help improve the overall health status of individuals and families. Future items will include a variety of dairy, meats, and cheeses.
Please note, participation is open to members of our geographical area located within a fifty mile radius.
We make no attempt to discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sex, income, disability, age, reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity.
Volunteers needed 8:45 to Noon. Volunteers must be 18 years of age and older. Volunteers will:
- Help stage the distribution site
