Food resources and other helps:
As we watch our social safety net being dismantled, it is heartening that there is as much resistance attempting to save it, especially in the courts where it matters. In the meantime, we are a community that cares for those inside and outside of our community, so if you’d like to help those most in need, you can share some of your own abundance with those who are being squeezed the most by our own Government’s failures and rejection of their role. You can bring the items above with food expiration and sell by dates according to the image above to our Lobby Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. If you need other dates and times, email or text one of the staff and we will see when we can meet you here!
If you are hungry, please drop by our lobby and take what you need.
Or, if you have something to donate, you can drop by bags of unperishable food for others. You can also bring something for the Interfaith corner of the lobby, leaving a decoration on the tree, or a Chanukkah decoration or gift for those in need. If you need more resources, please look below on this homepage for where you can get food or help.
