Neighbors In Need

💚 The incredible people at Baker Tilly have done it again! 💚
Not only did their team spend the day volunteering in our Diaper Pantry, Warehouse, at our Food Pantry and delivering packages to neighbors, they also arrived with a generous financial donation and an incredible number of essentials to help local families with young children, totaling:

🍼 6,690 diapers
🧻 18,264 wipes
🥛 99 cans of infant formula (1,227.6 oz.)
🍎 450 baby food pouches

These essential items will provide comfort, nutrition, and peace of mind to families throughout Greater Lawrence.
To everyone at Baker Tilly, thank you for showing up, rolling up your sleeves, and making such a meaningful impact. Your generosity and commitment to our community truly make a difference, and we're so grateful to have partners like you by our side. 💚

🌽🥒 Full Bellies. Bright Summers. 💚

Fresh from local fields to local families.

Fighting hunger is about more than calories. It's about ensuring families have access to nutritious foods that support health, learning, growth, and well-being. Because every family deserves not just enough food—but good food.

A special thank you to Pleasant Valley Gardens for generously supplying our pantries with fresh, locally grown produce each summer. Their partnership helps bring healthy fruits and vegetables directly from local fields to the tables of families throughout our community.

💚 You can help make healthy food accessible to local families this summer.
