High Holiday Food Drive
Our annual High Holiday Food Drive is approaching! The demand for food has increased by 40% over the last year. Please know that all contributions – in kind or financial – are greatly appreciated. We are able to stretch dollars further by purchasing food from Dare to Care, however, in kind donations provide much needed variety to our shelves.
