AND WE NEED YOUR HELP
Every family that receives food does so through donations from businesses, churches, farmers, local groups and individuals. If you’d like to help, please see our Volunteer and Donate pages to learn how to support and get in touch with us.
We accept food donations Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon at our new location at 12898 Union St. Extended in Milton. We give away food and accept donations every Monday (except the fifth Monday of the month) from 10 a.m. until noon.
Thank you for your support!
Opening our Distribution Center
On Oct. 11, 2023 we celebrated the official opening of our new home, the Distribution Center. Visit the NEWS tab on our website for links to highlights of our Ribbon Cutting.
We are reaching out to you with the opportunity to continue to help us through donations for food, operating expenses and capital expenses to upgrade our other existing building.
Major campus improvement!
We have paved our driveway! This will make distribution days much easier for all, and will improve our operations in all weather.
Many thanks to JD Asphalt, Inc. You did a wonderful job!
