Make an
impact today
In 2025, we supported 30,500 people, the highest demand in over 40 years.
Behind every emergency food pickup is a neighbour, a child, a senior making impossible choices.
You can be the reason they don’t have to.
Most people choose monthly giving because it creates lasting impact, but one time donations still make an immediate difference.
Monthly Giving
The simplest way to become the reason someone eats this month.
A monthly gift isn’t just something you give. It’s something you become part of.
Every month you give → food is there when someone needs it
That reliability → creates relief, stability, and dignity
And that feeling → means someone can breathe a little easier
Because of you it means:
Shelves stay stocked
Families don’t get turned away
We can plan ahead instead of reacting to crisis
You set it up once.
And every month, you automatically show up for the people that need you.
$5/month-The $5 Movement
