Get involved
Three hours on a Saturday becomes a week of groceries
Our distributions run on volunteers: setting out food, carrying boxes to cars, sorting diapers, and making sure every neighbor is greeted by name. No experience needed — we walk you through your first shift.
Ways to serve

Sort diapers and hygiene supplies, answer phones, help with intake paperwork, or lend a professional skill to the agency.
