We act as a resource compass providing direction to individuals by bridging the gap between those in need and those who assist in meeting those needs through effective community programs and services.

TESTIMONIALS
Words From Our Community
OUR PROGRAMS
Food Pantry
We strive to provide a lifeline for individuals and families who struggle to put nutritious meals on their tables. Our food pantries are stocked with donated food items, both non-perishable and fresh, which are then distributed to those in need.
The impact of food pantries goes far beyond just providing sustenance. They offer a sense of hope and dignity to people facing challenging times. For many, accessing a food pantry can mean the difference between going to bed hungry and having a warm meal for the day.
OUR PROGRAMS
Pet Pantry
Because we know that pets are a part of the family, we are dedicated to providing temporary assistance to pet owners facing hardship by helping to keep their pets in their home. Pet owners facing hardship and financial challenges may have to make a hard choice between feeding their families or feeding their pet.
Some owners faced with this difficult decision are forced to give up their animal companions. Our goal is to make it possible for pets to stay in a loving home together by providing the basic nutrition every pet needs.
