Contributions will cover our general community service programs, i.e. food pantry and outreach services program.  One of our most urgent need is for funding for our food pantry. The need is great to provide emergency food assistance to those who are facing food insecurity. On average our food pantry receives approximately 20 calls per day for emergency assistance. Recent data shows that in our area, more than 98,500 people are projected to be food insure. In some areas we serve 1 in 4 children will go to bed hungry. In addition to our food pantry program, our foundation operates a diaper bank to help those in need with diapers (including adult diapers). On average our community diaper pantry distributes over 1,800 diapers per month. We recognize that diaper insecurity is a hidden but urgent challenge faced by many families. 1 in 2 children are diaper insecure (2024 National Diaper Bank Network (NDBN) Diaper Check 2024). Diaper insecurity can lead to health risks, hinder early development, and place unnecessary strain on families already facing economic hardship. We are committed to creating lasting change and building a future where every child’s most fundamental needs are met.
