📣What We Need Wednesday!

This week we are spotlighting a need for rice —one of the most requested items at our Community Food Hubs. For many families, rice is a staple that helps put reliable, nourishing meals on the table. Your donation helps ensure people have consistent access to the food they rely on, when they need it most.

🍚 All types of rice are welcome!
