Food Baskets for Families

Many of the children and families we serve are not only dealing with mental health issues that affect their family’s dynamic and individual well-being, but also with the stress of putting food on the table on the table due to severe lack of resources. By providing a basket (or grocery bag) of nonperishable food and a gift card to a local grocery store, you will help alleviate daily stressors and create joy for families as they spend time preparing and sharing meals together.

Provide a food basket for a family of 4. Non-perishable food items (e.g. rice, beans, canned vegetables, boxed potatoes) and a gift certificate to a local grocery store to purchase a turkey and other perishable items.
