Over 30 amazing volunteers have kept delivering food to those in need through out the epidemic.
The backbreaking work of delivering 1,400,000 meals is done by unpaid volunteers.
We celebrate those who make our efforts possible.

The group of volunteers at this Food Now program are the very best, caring, hard working which makes my Thursdays! The food is delicious and such great variety. It’s like Christmas 4X’s a month. I was embarrassed needing help, now just grateful! Also thanks meow from my kittens. Brenda Banks

Dear Food Now, I am sending a check for $50 as a show of how grateful I am of the services you provide to the community. You are truly a blessing. Not sure if I would have made it through some of my roughest days if beautiful people like you did not exist. Wish I could do more. I will never forget your kindness. With Love, Danny Farnham

To ALL the wonderful gals & guys who volunteer at the Food Now, Inc distribution in DHS I doubt that you fully realize the truly invaluable contribution you make to my life and well being, and many many others I am sure. I recently had to purchase a few items at a regular grocery store for an unexpected guest. I was amazed, horrified and practically in shock at the prices of some of the food items I purchased for a simple salad: 99 cents for a bunch of green onions, $1.00 each for a green pepper and a pound of puny carrots. Fortunately I had lettuce from Food Now or that would have cost $4.00. I eat quite well, thanks to your program. I live on Social Security and a small pension. If it weren't for all the hard work of you kind folks, I would be up the creek without a paddle. I don't know how I would eat anything but ramen noodles and rice, and wouldn't that be exciting. I know you people get exhausted and tired of dealing with the few ungrateful SOB 's that give you a hard time. But let me tell you that the other 98% of us are extremely grateful for your efforts. You are all good people and God will surely bless you all for your good works and kindness. Most sincerely, Daniel Summers

Dear Friends, This morning I picked up my weekly food parcels an am again so very delighted and grateful! I can’t adequately express what a difference you all have made in my life the last few months! I look forward to going (yes, you’ve made it so easy to bear), am excited to get home and see what goodies you’ve included- like today’s cookies and oranges and jam- along with the “healthy” staples, and can consume all week long. Really appreciate the vegetables and fresh fruit, absent from my kitchen for a year or more before I found you, Thank you for all your work, your attitude, the creativity of your selections, and your generosity. You’ve affected my tummy and my attitude and even the propane I can now afford during our last cold spell. Blessings to you all. Rev. Sylvia Lithgow
