Everything happens in the Facebook group first.
Michele posts there herself — what came in that morning, when a surprise clothing distribution is happening, when sign-ups open for Christmas. If you only follow one thing, follow the group.

Give food, give money, or give a Saturday.
Canned goods off your shelf, a few dollars on Cash App, or two hours packing boxes — all of it turns into the same thing: somebody eats.

Come by. That’s the whole process.
No application, no ID, no shame in it. Food is where most people start, but it isn’t all we have — and we keep a list of other local and state resources for what we can’t cover.
