Mission Statement
Our mission is simple - to end hunger in our community - but how we accomplish our goal is surprisingly complicated.
Description
We Can’t Do It Without You
Volunteers are critical to ending hunger in our community. Every month we rely on their generous support, which would otherwise require the work of 45 full-time staff members.
Spend a two or three-hour shift with friends, family, and colleagues and help feed our neighbors in need. Build team spirit and company morale by volunteering with your business or organization.
Check out the many fun and rewarding ways to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of those facing hunger throughout our community in Sonoma, Mendocino, and Lake County.
