Big thanks to the Power Pack pros! 🎉

How does food insecurity affect mental health? 🧠

While food insecurity alone increases stress and feelings of instability, the lack of necessary vitamins can also affect emotional regulation, attention span, and feelings of fatigue.

Access to nourishing food shouldn’t be a challenge. With your support, we can help make healthy options more available and accessible for our community.

Visit Foodforothers.org/ to learn more about how to donate!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of Noblis and Edgeworth Economics, Food for Others is feeling brand new 🏢

With the donation of new (new-to-us!) conference tables, desks, and chairs, our space got a full refresh - and our growing team now has a comfortable home base to power our mission forward.

And a HUGE shoutout to JK Moving Services for donating hours of time to make it all happen. We truly couldn’t have done it without you.

Grateful for our amazing partners! 💙
