Help Us Pack Go Bags!


Help us provide ready-to-use food bags for families in need throughout our community.

Go Bags are pre-packed grocery bags that help us quickly serve families during times of high demand. These bags are used to assist the over 6,500 families we serve each week, especially during excessive wait times, through various programs across our organization.
