Growing Need, Declining Support
The report that follows details a concerning trend: as more community members require assistance, we’ve experienced a decline in financial contributions. This creates significant challenges as we work to maintain and expand our services to meet mounting demand.
Looking Forward
Our newly outfitted mobile pantry unit represents an important step forward in our mission to reach underserved areas. As you read more about our impacts from last year, we invite you to consider how you might partner with us to sustain this essential work in our community.
