Providing FRESH FOODS to those in need


“People Helping People”
  Our Mission is Very Simple: To challenge hunger by bringing relief to people on fixed but inadequate incomes: Senior Citizens, Disabled, Single Parents, the Under-Employed or Unemployed between jobs.
 A hungry person or family in our area does not have a sign on their forehead that says they are hungry, rather they may appear to be “ just fine”. The facts are that there are MANY in our sphere of influence who are having to make quiet personal choices between basic monthly expenses (including food) for their family. Many have to forego “Fresh Food”.
