Thanks to Amy S. Parker for such a great time at this year's Trivia Fest at Moon Tavern! Because of her generosity in wanting to make us the beneficiary of the event, she raised $1,252.00 for us! This will help us replenish supplies as we look toward our reopening on September 8th. Thank you so much Amy!!

Please share this post for us! This school year is quickly approaching and we are working very hard to get ready for this year. We are so excited! But we need lots of help!

We are looking for restaurants, caterers, or organizations that wish to help sponsor our daily suppers. Especially if you are a restaurant who donates leftover food.. one time per week would make a huge difference to us with our limited budget. If you are in a position to help, we would love to talk to you and partner with you!!

We are also looking for volunteer sign ups for the upcoming school year. If you are interested in giving back, please fill out this form.

We are looking for help on certain days where we have few volunteers. We will be open 3 PM to 7 PM.

We have many hungry teens that depend on us. If you would like to help support our costs, please donate to us here:

We will also be needing all kinds of snacks, drinks and supplies to help make this upcoming school year a success as well. Please find our Amazon Wish List here:
