📍 Serving Bennington, Elkhorn, Waterloo & Valley only

Okay you guys, look at this shelf. This is our boxed dinners section right now — one lonely box up top and two completely empty shelves below.

We're good on spaghetti and spaghetti sauce (thank you!), but people can't eat spaghetti every night.

Here's what $30 a month actually does: about 20 boxes of Hamburger Helper at ~$1.50 each. That's 20 real dinners for families who are staring at empty shelves tonight.

That's what being a Neighbor means. $30/month. Not a gala. Not a silent auction. Just dinner.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT 🌟 Meet Shelly!

This woman right here? When her work schedule lets her, she SHOWS UP — and when she's here, she gives it everything 💪

Shelly's the kind of volunteer every nonprofit dreams about. No paycheck, no spotlight — just a huge heart for her neighbors and a peace sign for the camera ✌️😂

Thank you, Shelly. Hope 402 literally does not run without people like you 🙏

Wanna join the crew? We need reliable weekly volunteers — packing groceries, running deliveries, warehouse stuff. Message me, let's talk!

📦📦📦 WE COULDN'T OPEN THE FRONT DOOR 📦📦📦

My kids tried to leave for school this morning and just started yelling across the house — "MOM!! YOUR AMAZON PACKAGES ARE BLOCKING THE DOOR, WE CAN'T GET OUT!!" 😂

Sorry kids, go out the garage. Mom's running a nonprofit over here 📦🙌

Woke up to a porch absolutely BURIED in Amazon wishlist donations. Every box = food on somebody's table right here in our community. Y'all are unreal. THANK YOU 💛

Love thy neighbor — you guys really said "bet" 😂
