Little Free Pantries

From Kim Quan

  • We need more donations for the Little Free Pantries! All you have to do is just click on the Amazon wish list and we will deliver!
  • Since school is out, the kids won’t be getting their free lunches if they need them, so if we could have the little pantries filled with items that will support families in need!
  • Thank you all again, we really do appreciate all that you have done so far!

The Food Drive

  • The Food Drive is always looking for new volunteers for food rescue and donations to help end hunger in our community. You can also sign up to make meals for the Community Freezer. Learn more at their website.
