SCHOOL & SENIOR COMPLEX PANTRIES

Food pantries inside schools and senior living complexes give students and residents convenient access to emergency food assistance.

SNAP OUTREACH & EMPOWERMENT

Outreach staff provide help understanding and applying for SNAP benefits and offer support accessing community resources like job training and financial planning.

Since 1985, every year high schools across our region join in a friendly “competition” to raise food & funds for their community.
