Our programs are designed to provide consistent support for families, adults, and the youth. We strive to make good nutrition a priority for our community.
Every week, organizations prepare nutritious meals for clients in our food pantry. These dinners not only provide much-needed sustenance but also serve as a way to bring people together and combat loneliness.
We offer a clothes closet where clients in our food pantry can find free clothing and accessories to help them stay warm, comfortable, and confident.
We believe that investing in our youth is crucial for the future of our community. That’s why we offer after-school programs that provide academic support as well as a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow.
