Donate Food

Urgent! Your Donations Needed!

Help alleviate hunger in the community by donating shelf-stable food to Family Service. Family Service provides food boxes to families and seniors in need. Our food box provides approximately fourteen days of food, which helps to extend the household budget, allowing families to focus much-needed funds elsewhere.

True Story

"

My husband died last year. It has thrown me off the rails. I really had no idea how I would feed my children and afford rent. Thanks to Family Service, we are scraping by and I am back in school to get training for a new job.
