Food Banking
Our foodbank involves the provision of nonperishable food items to individuals who are not necessarily hungry but who have genuine needs and deserve to be fed. Also, as part of our campaign against hunger, we have periodic “feed the community events” where we cook fresh food and distribute it within our community to people who may not be able to afford a decent meal.
