Join our Efforts

November 2022

Your generosity makes our work possible. Whether you contribute financially or as an advocate for good, you make a real and lasting difference in people’s lives.

Our members and volunteers bring commitment, innovation, passion, creativity, and an appreciation of both the big picture and the importance of giving back.

GET INVOLVED WHERE IT MATTERS

Friends, we are taking measured steps to alleviate hunger amongst the most destitute, and to restore dignity to those that are being robbed of it.

Poverty is a destructive force, but together, we can fight to combat it – one meal at a time, one article of clothing at a time.

We cannot do this work alone. If you would like to join our fight, please contact us regarding volunteer opportunities.

Snacks and Dry Goods Donations

April 2022

The Briarwood houses up to 70 families and needs to provide meals three times per day.  They also have an after-school program and need to provide snacks for the kids.

The Shakti Mission is providing fruits on a monthly basis but The Briarwood is also in desperate need of snacks and dry goods.  We are currently speaking with food pantries in the area to request one-time donations and will begin an ongoing donation program.
