TP CommUnity is a wrap, and we're so grateful to groups like Gloria Dei Lutheran Church who donated just shy of 400 lbs. of toilet paper to the food pantry!
When budgets are tight, many of our neighbors are left to choose between food and "luxuries" like toilet paper and other hygiene products.

On an average Saturday, CommUnity Food Pantry serves 180 families... This past Saturday, we served 285.
YOU can make a big difference by hosting a food drive. Large-scale food donations like this make a big impact because we can turn around and distribute the food to those in need immediately.

It's Period Action Day! One way to make a difference is by donating period supplies to the food pantry.
Did you know that 1 in 4 students in the U.S. struggle to afford period products? Unfortunately, for many of our low income neighbors, there is a real choice between food and hygiene necessities.
