3 Ways You Can Help
Volunteer Your Time
We could use your help at the Center. Come in and work alongside our volunteer staff. There are a wide range of activities: greeting and talking with people who come in, stocking shelves, unloading donations, loading up supplies and equipment. Stop by, learn more, or just jump in! Questions? Tap to email us via our form.
Donate Supplies
Many of our local residents lost everything. You can help them recover and live a little easier with basic supplies like food and hygiene items.
See our “Ongoing Needs” section above for items we urgently need!
Donate Funds
Support our OPERATIONS here. These funds are used to provide the groceries, supplies and equipment needed for relief and restoration in the Foscoe ara.
To continue to meet the needs for the community into 2025 we need to raise funds for the rent and operations of a building. These funds are restricted to this use only and will not be used for salaries, advertising, or unrelated expenses.
