Bakeless Bake Sale
Each spring, our annual fundraising mail-out raises funds for food purchases and operational expenses. No knead to bake, just enclose a small contribution in the envelope provided and send in your sweet treat to us! Thanks for helping us raise some dough!
Grow A Row
Think of us this Spring when you are planting your garden! No matter what your harvest, we will gladly accept donations of fresh veggies and fruit. Fresh produce is hard to come by at the Food Bank, and is so necessary for nutrition. Visit www.growarow.org for a Veggie Garden Guide and ideas of how to encourage and teach children & their families how to start and grow an edible garden at their home, whether with a backyard or a balcony garden or through access to a local community garden.
