GIVE FOOD. GROW HOPE. Join our 2008 food campaign!
You can help thousands of people in need through our Emergency Food Programs!
Whom do we feed? The working poor, seniors awaiting their next Social Security check, farmworkers, homeless children, and the disabled. Many don't have cars, so we drive to rural sites in Sonoma and Lake counties.
Rural Food Project, Lake and Sonoma Counties:
weekly distribution at 14 rural community sites
to 1000 families a month; supplemental foods to
hundreds of families and people in need, living at
or below the poverty line.
Family Support Center: three meals a day, serving
134 people daily and many hundreds more who stop
by for extra food and meals.

recuperating from serious illnesses.
