Annual Holiday Food Distribution
Every year the goal is to provide each family with food for 3 - 5 days. When funds allow, grocery gift cards are also included. When available, coats and toys will also be provided. More than 400 volunteers come and help collect, sort, and package food & toys, register clients, direct traffic, and load vehicles. We are humbled by your compassion and generosity.
Upcoming Events
The 2024 Holiday Program will be on Saturday, December 7, 2024 and Saturday, December 14, 2024, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
