A New Approach: Ensuring Our Shelves Stay Full This Winter

We have been facing some overwhelming challenges as we attempt to keep our food shelves stocked. This has led us to the difficult decision to not hold our traditional Thanksgiving Food Distribution event, and instead focus on keeping our grocery shelves stocked throughout the winter months to better meet the growing needs of our community.

Here’s how it works:

  • Families in need will be greeted with shelves of food in our free grocery area, allowing a family to get enough food for a week of meals instead of only one celebratory meal.

  • Donors can help us by donating general food items and special holiday food at our donation dock to help keep those shelves stocked.

  • Volunteers help stock shelves with all the amazing food donations we receive!

Help us Keep the Shelves Full this Season

We made the heartbreaking decision to not hold our traditional Thanksgiving Food Distribution this year because our grocery shelves have been more frequently bare as food donations have decreased and the cost of purchasing food continues to rise.

We are asking our community to rally behind us as we try to keep those shelves stocked every day! We are accepting fresh perishable and non-perishable food, holiday food, pantry staples, dairy items, and of course financial donations.

Help Stock Shelves for our Community

Join The Action Center to make sure all our donations get onto the grocery shelves in a timely manner! When you volunteer, you are giving the most valuable gift - yourself.

We need your help to assist families that are experiencing food hunger and food insecurity. By visiting our grocery, they are met with shelves stocked with fresh, shelf stable, and culturally relevant food items. This service helps families make ends meet without sacrificing their health and well-being.
