Open House BBQ

Thank you to all who came out to our Open House BBQ on August 10, 2024, We had a fantastic turn out and met some incredible people. We appreciate the time taken to come and learn about what we do, how we operate, and the impact the community is having on those facing food insecurity. During this event, we had an outpouring of support receiving $600 and 415lbs of food donated! To see some photos of the event click here or the photo (left).
 
Your support is greatly needed and truly appreciated as the number of families relying of food banks has grown exponentially. Thank you on behalf of all our clients and volunteers.
