Eighty-nine cents of every dollar donated buys food and hygiene items that go straight to the shelves. The remaining eleven cents covers the walk-in cooler, fuel for the delivery van, and insurance. We publish this ratio every quarter, not just at year end.
A single volunteer shift - three hours, most Saturdays - sorts about forty boxes. You do not need experience, and you do not need to commit past one shift to see if it fits.
Standing food drives from a workplace or a school are welcome year-round. Call ahead and we will tell you exactly what the shelves are short on that month.
