Give a few hours of your time to make a real, local impact and experience the power of coming together to nourish our community.
This is hands-on service at its best—an energetic assembly line of neighbors, coworkers, families, and friends working shoulder to shoulder for a shared purpose. The meals we’ll create are shelf-stable, heart-healthy, and packed with rice, vegetables, soy, and a vitamin/mineral blend designed to deliver complete nutrition. Think Rice-A-Roni—but better for the body and soul.
Your support matters. A few hours of your time or a small donation can mean food security for someone who might otherwise go hungry. Every $1 donated provides meals, and each volunteer helps turn compassion into action.
