Food at First’s primary need during this time is monetary donations to cover regular expenses. Even though most of the food is donated and we are run by volunteers (except for our one paid employee), it still takes financial help for utilities, repairs & maintenance of equipment and our Food At First van, fuel for the van, soap to clean and to run the dishwasher, garbage collection, floor rug rental plus any other expenses that come up. All these things add up and since we are our own Non-profit, completely operating on donations it is a constant need. We do not have any regular funding coming in from anywhere so thank you for your donations to help us keep operating so that we can help the folks that need the food that we rescue.

At Food At First, we want you to be confident your gifts are being used in the best way possible. To make a one-time donation or monthly donation click the “Donate” button. Thank you for your support!
