Donations are critical in helping us remain the premier provider of nourishment and support services in our community. Our clients pay what they can afford, depending on their income. In this past year, we covered over $250,000 in costs for nearly 200 clients because we believe that no one should go hungry.

With the income-based reduced rates we offer, we make our services available to those who would otherwise not be able to afford it. More than 60 percent of our clients receive their deliveries at a reduced rate because many of them have a very limited income of less than $28,000 a year.

However, the expense involved in making each meal remains and ​94% of our funding comes from private foundations and individual donors like you. Please consider sponsoring a member of your community who is struggling. Your donation could quite literally change a life.
