One of our volunteers lost her keys today at the Foodbank. It’s a black Mazda key fob with a mail key and a LV wrist loop. We are thinking it may have fallen in food box while we were filling them. If you happen to find them, please contact us at the Foodbank. We would really appreciate it.!

We are so grateful for the incredible blessing we received from Chick-fil-A. We received this gift the same day we found out that our truck is beyond repair. This will help us purchase new truck. We use a refrigerated truck six days a week to pick up donations from local stores.  we are not fully funded for this project, but this goes a long way.!!

I don’t want this Thanksgiving to go by without my acknowledging the many gifts that we have been blessed with during these difficult times. In the past few weeks hundreds of families have been fed because of the generosity of our community! I am so proud to partner with such amazing volunteers who selflessly give their time to meet the needs of others. In these dark times, I am grateful that you continue to let your light shine .
