HOW TO HELP

Get Involved with Community

We run an extremely lean organization, so we depend on and appreciate our volunteers and donors greatly. We could not do this without YOU.

Food left outside spoils or gets contaminated by rodents and is unusable — it will be thrown away.

Clothing

We accept only gently used children’s clothing, coats, hats and gloves for children and adults.  Please take all adult clothing, toys, furniture, etc. to a local thrift store and help us make the most of our time in helping how we can.

GARDEN SHARING

There are a number of ways you can help us provide fresh produce during the gardening season. Join a local gardening group like “The Table” that shares a portion of their crops with us.

Volunteer to work in one of the donated garden spaces or donate your own space. Or even donate a portion of what you’ve raised in your own garden. Be assured our clients love to get fresh vegetables for their tables!

DONATE

Even with the volunteered time and donated food and clothing, we still buy food to provide a well-balanced selection to our clients. Usually we are able to get bulk discounted items to make our dollars stretch as far as possible. We are worth your investment.
