Our food shelf program needs:
Groundworks purchases roughly 25% of the food we distribute to our neighbors in need (serving over 1600 individuals each month with supplemental food). As a result, we have an incredible ability to leverage donated dollars to feed the most people. If you’re considering a donation to support Foodworks, please know that monetary support makes the biggest impact—allowing us to buy what we need, when we need it, and at prices far lower than you would pay in the grocery store.
