This March Food Drive, as always, we thank our volunteers! Every day in the Merrick Food Shelf volunteers help sort food, prep boxes for distribution, and distribute to families, among other tasks.

Help support the Merrick Food Shelf TODAY! Your $50 donation supplements food boxes to include proteins, spices and oils, and other nutritious, culturally specific food items that go directly into the hands of the families we serve.
