Community Food Access Mobile Program
We bridge the gap between food surplus and community needs by partnering with local businesses to collect and distribute food to those facing food insecurity. Our team ensures equitable food access, providing meals through mobile distribution and local drop-off points.
Language and Translation Services
We provide accessible language and translation services, ensuring individuals, regardless of their primary language, can access critical resources. We translate healthcare documents, legal forms, and public assistance applications (SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, Medicare, Unemployment, etc.) offering interpretation support to help clients navigate services with confidence.
Maternal and Baby Essentials Support
Our Essentials Support Program provides new and expectant mothers with free kits containing postpartum care and hygiene supplies. Through our mobile van service, we bring vital resources directly to families in need, helping ensure every baby has a healthy, supported start, and every expectant mother has confidence in caring for their newborns.
Our Guiding Principles
- Equity in Access: Basic needs are a right, not a privilege
- Dignity-Centered: We serve with empathy and without judgment
- Community Voice: We partner with the communities we serve
- Whole Family Wellbeing: Wraparound care that uplifts families
