Newport AAC Food Pantry

This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the hardworking people who make our community strong. We also recognize that even hardworking families can face times when putting food on the table becomes a challenge.

Your support helps make sure our neighbors have access to nutritious food when they need it most.

This Labor Day, consider giving back. A donation of any size can help fill pantry shelves, provide meals, and make a meaningful difference for local families.

Together, we can build a stronger, more caring community, one meal at a time.

Donate today and help us nourish our neighbors: https://newportaac.org/donate/

"One of the most marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals. When we pool our strength and share the work and responsibility, we can welcome many people, even those in deep distress, and perhaps help them find self-confidence and inner healing."
-Jean Vanier

That kind of effort is exactly why our shelves stay stocked, and the staff and I always make time for these visits, even outside our normal hours....
