Our Programs

Special Programs We Offer

Beyond our food distribution, we run seasonal and ongoing programs including:

Easter Dinner Program

We provide families with a holiday meal package that includes ham, non-perishable items and seasonal treats. 

Summer Lunch Program

This program provides kid-friendly food to households with school-aged children who miss out on school lunches during the summer months.

Back-to-School Program

In July and August, we distribute new backpacks and essential school supplies to every school-aged child in our registered households.

Sneaker Program

We give a $75 gift card to each school-aged child, veteran, or senior so they can purchase a brand-new pair of sneakers, one of the most requested items.

Thanksgiving Dinner Program

The Saturday before Thanksgiving, we distribute turkeys and everything needed for a full holiday meal.

Christmas Program

We provide a $100 gift card for each registered child so parents can choose gifts themselves. This approach empowers families and keeps the holidays joyful.
