Help feed your neighbors this spring and summer
Hunger doesn't take a season off. While the holidays often bring attention to food insecurity, the need in our community is just as real in spring and summer, especially when kids are home from school and families lose access to school meal programs.
Help us stock the shelves of our Hunger Resource Center so families can access fresh produce, pantry staples, and proteins all season long.
