How Your Donation Helps
In our community, lives can change overnight, leaving families unsure where their next meal will come from. Friends In Need Food Bank is here to provide immediate relief, because access to nutritious food is a basic right, not a privilege.
We receive no recurring government funding and rely on the generosity of individuals, businesses, organizations, and grants. Every gift - whether a one-time donation, monthly support, or hosting a food drive - helps us reach more people in need. Join us in the fight against hunger today.
Notice:
The Starfish Backpack Program ceased operations on 20 December 2024.
We no longer accept donations for this program and kindly encourage regular donors to redirect their contributions to our School Meal & Snack Program.
