Testimonials

…people just really enjoy coming here—not just for food but to interact. I love the community dinners because everybody is equal–staff, volunteers and people who participate in programs. We’re all in it together.
Cameron Brown

Star Volunteer and Program Participant

It’s really nice here, the volunteers and staff are friendly. I come for the food for sure; but there’s no judgement. I actually led a canning class here a while back too. I like to get involved where I can.

Good Food Bank Participant and Former Class Leader
