Working families
60% of households we serve include at least one working adult. The gap is between paychecks and groceries — not between effort and unwillingness.

Seniors on fixed income
23% of households we serve. Often choosing between medication and food. Tuesday senior pantry is the lowest-energy shift; please come.
Kids · backpack program
340 weekend backpacks. School counselors identify need. Discreet Friday afternoon distribution; bag looks like any school backpack.
Recently displaced + new arrivals
We don't ask immigration status. ID not required at distributions. New-arrival families get a 4-week welcome series with culturally-aligned food when possible.

ID not required
We don't ask for ID at any distribution. We don't keep identifying records. We don't share data with any agency · ever.
No immigration questions
We don't ask immigration status · ever. Our work is to feed neighbors. Other agencies do other things.
Choice over assignment
Drive-thru distributions ask 'do you eat dairy?' instead of handing out a uniform box. Dignity in choice.
Cultural alignment when we can
We work with 47 partner organizations to source food that fits the cultural communities we serve. Not always perfect; we listen and adjust.
