2026 New Year, Full Plates!
Help us fill bags—and hearts—with gratitude this season. We need dedicated volunteers like you to help pack food bags for our Brown Bag for the Elderly program. This important initiative ensures local seniors have enough food to last through the end of the month.
Let’s start the new year strong by giving back to our community! You can help by:
-
Volunteering to pack bags for seniors
-
Bringing a canned good (vegetables, beans, or soup are especially helpful) to help stock our marketplace shelves
To add a little fun, we’ll also be leaving a kind, hopeful New Year’s message in each bag. Feel free to wear your favorite team jersey or some great sparkle, lets ring in the New Year will a servant heart!
