Hello. We're glad you are here!

We must collectively mobilize.

Joan is calling on all ladies (and gents if you are down for the cause!) to support our neighbors. Food pantries are experiencing a shortage of food and essential items – and we need to help. We are asking people to either plug into our food drive, or find another pantry and organize around their needs. Please.  

Join us, or Pick your own Pantry!

There are so many pantries in need. Check out a video about Joan's partnership with the Neighborhood House for our November drive. 


This is just where we're starting. If we collect too much food – there are a lot of other local organizations to take the extras. We'd love to have that problem!

Sometimes you don't have to go too far to find a community that needs support. If you have a connection to a school, check in with the administration, the Family Resource & Youth Services Centers (FRYSC), or the PTA. 


Do they need donations? If so, ask how you can you help organize or plug into an existing drive to support students and their families. If there are families at school that need food assistance – focus your drive and start there!
