ORGANIZATION
White Pony Express in Pleasant Hill is partnering with North State Food Bank near Chico to continue delivering food and goods to those still residing in 5 FEMA trailer parks and very much in need. White Pony Express sends volunteers up 2-3 times a week to support the continued needs of many Butte County Fire Survivors.
Hold a Drive to Help Inside and Outside the County. Help with some special initiatives that we need the community to rally around to keep the Butte County fire survivors going and help those closer to home as well.
White Pony Express is looking for volunteers to run a non-perishable food drive or hold a neighborhood or family drive for items to build care kits for the homeless, recently housed or Butte County fire survivors. Whether you are an individual that wants to help personally, a community or corporate group, or a group of family or friends, please reach Danie Belfield to find out more about holding your own food or product or fundraising drive!

Mission Statement
MISSION Our mission is to help eliminate hunger and poverty by delivering the abundance all around us to those in need--with love. GUIDING PRINCIPLE: UNITY We honor the essential unity of all by embracing and serving all those in need. OUR VISION We draw on the generous nature of our community members. In consequence a shared consciousness is born, in which it is natural for us to help one another. When that shared consciousness becomes widespread, there will be no more hunger and no more poverty.
Description
At White Pony Express, we rescue fresh surplus food from supermarkets, restaurants, and farmers’ markets and deliver it free of charge to organizations that feed the hungry. We also collect and distribute high-quality clothing, children's toys, and books.
We were founded by Dr. Carol Weyland Conner in 2013. Dr. Conner conceived this model as an excellent way to help eliminate hunger and poverty by delivering the abundance all around us to our neighbors in need. From our first day, Dr. Conner has stressed that more important than the food and clothing we deliver is the love we give. Love is at the heart of a family, and we are one family.
Beyond our goal of helping others, WPE aims to create opportunities for selfless service. Hundreds of volunteers make White Pony Express possible. They volunteer with us because they believe in our mission. They know they are helping others who have urgent needs at this time in their lives.
