Thank you to our food partners!
We are grateful to the amazing volunteers from these congregations who provide dedicated food support to our guests in shelter. Each week, they buy food based on our guests' personalized shopping lists, then deliver the food directly to the shelter. Their dedicated support has freed up our case managers' time and fueled connections across our communities. We couldn't do it without you.
