Dear friends,

Today, we’re celebrating three years of service at the Food Club & Opportunity Hub! In 2021, our community stepped up with us to reimagine what healthy food access could look like. Thousands of families served, connections made, and meals provided later, we’re reflecting with gratitude on the stories of hope, health, and happiness that neighbors like you make possible.

In the past three years,

All people deserve dignified access to the support they need to lead healthy, productive, and fulfilling lives. While traditional food access operations solve emergencies, few solutions exist to meet ongoing needs. In other communities, food is either free at a pantry or full price at the grocery store. In our community, we’ve chosen a different option - sustainable, empowering, and welcoming service so that all of our neighbors can thrive. We couldn’t be more grateful for a community that believes in and powers our efforts by volunteering, donating, and championing our work.

Over the coming year, we’ll continue to grow and refine our service for those in our community who need it most. From strengthening healthcare partnerships to provide medically-tailored offerings for our guests, to expanding food access with our Food Club Mobile Market, to collaborating with Dwelling Place to create high quality, affordable, and accessible housing units in our community - we’re looking ahead with hope and excitement for all that we can accomplish together.

We are a community that leads with compassion. We creatively find solutions, we celebrate success, and our neighbors experience unrelenting kindness and connection. All of our service is made possible by a community that believes in and supports our work - thank you for showing up for the families who need it most.

Gratefully,

Scott Rumpsa | Chief Executive Officer

P.S. - We have been incredibly busy, as so many families in our community face increased costs and financial strain. Already, we’re 60% busier than we were two years ago. As a locally-funded nonprofit, we rely on neighbors like you to power our work. If you’re in a position to do so, please keep us in mind for a generous donation as we approach the year end! 

If you've recently given a gift, thank you! Your generosity ensures that we can expand and grow our service for all that turn to us for the food, connection, and support they need to thrive.
