Our Food Bank exists to fight hunger, reduce food waste, and bring hope to individuals and families across our community.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our business partners, grocery stores, and local producers, we are able to rescue and repurpose food that would otherwise go to waste.
Through these partnerships, we proudly saved over 1.2 million pounds of food last year alone—food that was sorted, packed, and shared with families in need.
Every pound of food makes a difference. Through your support and the strength of our partnerships, we were able to provide nutritious food to over 1,000 families, ensuring no one in our community goes hungry.
