We can tailor your sponsorship to match your goals and values. You may choose to sponsor weekly hampers or our school lunch program in several ways:

  • for specific items like fresh meat, vegetables or fruits
  • for items we always seem to run low on such as oatmeal, rice or canned meat like tuna and salmon
  • for hygiene items like toilet paper, dental care supplies or laundry detergent

Roll Call – $3400 will allow us to put toilet paper in every hamper we give out for a full year.

Bright Smiles Initiative – $7,500 will purchase toothpaste, tooth brushes and dental floss for every person we serve for 6 months

Loads of Love – $8600 will purchase laundry detergent for weekly hampers for 6 months
