About Us

Our Mission:

We provide food and clothing to people in need through the generosity of our community.

Who Are We?

We are a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, established in 1986. We are staffed by volunteers and a board of directors. Our organization has grown to include the COME Meal (the Community Meal for Everyone) and the Happy Kids Backpack program.

We receive food, clothing, monetary donations, and assistance from many organizations and individuals throughout the community. Thank you to all.
