The Food Shelf relies on the generous contributions of churches, individuals, businesses, foundations, schools, associations, and other groups in our community. Your contributions help stock our shelves and fill our refrigerators with healthy food to ensure that no one in need goes hungry.
There are several ways in which you can contribute to the Food Shelf.
