Causes: Food, Food Banks & Pantries
Mission: To help reduce hunger in the greater concord area through year round distribution of food for individuals and families by securing financial donations and in-kind services and by coordination, collaboration, and cooperation with other community distribution and social service agencies.
Programs: The holiday food basket project (hfbp) is one of our main projects. It is all volunteer and works in collaboration and cooperation with local food pantries, soup kitchens, churches and social service agencies to provide a holiday meal to families in need within the concord and surrounding communities. Each family receives enough food for a holiday meal and food for an additional two weeks. Our goal is to provide food for approximately 2000 families which equates to about 6500 individuals. Actual result of december 2017 hfbp was 2,019 families serviced, approximately 6,800 individuals and 104 babies.
the year round distribution project provides supplemental staple food items to collaborating agency partners once a month. We support local soup kitchens, food pantries and social services agencies providing cases of food at no cost to these organizations to assist those in need during the year.
