COVID-19 Update
In response to the current COVID-19 situation, many of our agencies have closed due to the safety of their volunteers. Seniors operate a majority of our agencies are the most at-risk group for potentially catching the virus. In order to fill the void for those who depend on these agencies, we have created special distributions in those areas.
We have created special distributions to help those in need during this time who have previously never needed our assistance but are now facing food insecurity due to a loss of income.
