1 out of 5 people in our community suffer from Food Insecurity
Food insecurity doesn’t just mean empty shelves — it means parents skipping meals so their kids can eat, seniors choosing between food and medicine, and families struggling to build stability.
How Do We Do It?
Compassion, Care, and Sustainable Support
1. Food Pantry
We provide families with reliable access to nutritious food once a month. Our pantry ensures no neighbor has to go hungry.
2. Getting Ahead Classes
A 16-session program where participants investigate poverty, build stability, and create pathways to a more secure future.
3. Pop-Up Pantries
Bringing food directly into neighborhoods so families who can’t reach us still get the support they need.
