Our Impact

Everyday we are fighting to decrease food insecurity and increase food safety. We support over 35 food pantries, low-income senior housing and community programs. Our work gives families, individuals and seniors access to fresh food and foods free of the top eight allergens.

“You’re Wealth Shouldn’t Dictate Your Health” – Carol Bauer, Founder

People who struggle to afford groceries are not immune to food allergies and health conditions. The cycle of government assistance does not always meet the food needs for those individuals. Our food bank helps fill in the gaps to provide healthy, safe food for all.
