Support Us


To all our generous supporters who donated on Erie Gives Day (August 11, 2020), a sincere thank you! We were able to raise $17,427.50 after the Erie Community Foundation contribution.  This is a record for us!

A portion of the funds will be used to add an additional 4 Veterans to our Meals for Veterans Program. These 4 heroes will receive 2 free meals five days a week until June 30th. Total recipients for this program thus far: 12 Veterans. We are proud to be able to take some worries off their plate during these challenging times.

Thank you so much donors! Our Mission is our motivation and you make our work possible!

Dear Readers and Friends,
We continue to push through the storm of COVID-19 without missing a route or a new client in need of our help. Thank you to our volunteers, our Board and our incredible staff of 3!
 
We know there are so many more people facing food insecurity and loneliness during these stressful times. Please help us to get our message out - we can be a safe solution to home-delivered healthy meals and groceries.

We are so appreciative of all the donations of masks and hand sanitizers we have received in the last 6 months. A special thank you to Walmart for donating gallons of hand sanitizer recently and for Bonrisu Masks for supplying us with comfortable and stylish masks! Such kindness and generosity.

Be well everyone,
Wendy Wallace, Executive Director

  We are looking for volunteers for both of our programs. If you have been thinking of helping or know of someone who would be interested, please send them our way.

We are pending approval (maybe as early as October) to add 80 new clients to our under 60 program and we will need drivers.

Our grocery program has been very busy and we could use some reinforcements!

Initial training is being done by email and over the phone. Please call the office for more information. 

 

Volunteer Spotlight


Each month we would like to shine the spotlight on volunteers who go above and beyond and give them a special thank you. This month we would like to shine the spotlight on:
 
 Our Faithful Volunteers On the Sidelines
Until We Beat COVID-19
 

Several of our volunteers had to take a step back until the virus clears the air for the health and safety of themselves or their loved ones. We want you to know you are missed and we can't wait to welcome you back! Stay safe, stay well and please stay in touch.
