Our Programs

Community Food Bank

Food justice is an important part of community justice. We take donations from local businesses and use them to fight hunger. Help us connect with donors and with people in need.

Volunteer Service Sundays

Every Sunday, we mobilize our team of volunteers to make a real difference. Join us and see what can be accomplished when you get an impassioned team to focus on change.

Community Connections

Our community is full of people who want to help. We work to help the people providing services with the people who need them. Come connect with people in new ways.
