This Spring, we need your help to raise $50,000 to support our Produce Program which provides fresh and wholesome produce direct from farms to the plates of local families struggling with hunger. You can help this campaign, and leave your legacy on the local hunger fight by purchasing a brick that will be installed on our sidewalk at the entrance of our building. Personalize your message to honor family, friends or simply leave an inspirational message. It's the perfect and everlasting gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, a birthday and many other occasions. Download the form today to start your journey in helping us build a bridge to healthier eating.

 

1 in 4 children are struggling with hunger in Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend area. We need your help with our Harvest for Hunger Campaign, April 16- May 11. The need is greatest during the summer when school is out. Every $1 you give can provide 4 meals. It only takes a little to help a lot. No child should go hungry! Our goal is 320,000 meals.
