“You guys have the best food bank in the country. The laundry program is a lifesaver. People come here to get around another human being — so many of us are isolated.”

“I’m excited for the garden plots. It’s going to be awesome to grow my own fresh produce.” -

James

“I like the laundry service and the warm food provided. The volunteers remember my little one and bring her snacks.”

Sherri

“I like the way that the community room time is the same day as the food bank. Clothing helped me keep warm during the winter. I always have clean sheets and clothes. Everybody is pretty nice here.”

Elizabeth

“When you guys took over the food bank, it was incredible. I first started coming here two years ago and I have never seen such a crowd. The food we are able to get is amazing. I wouldn’t be able to get this type of food without this food bank. I believe in respect for the volunteers — they are doing without and for us. The good lord did a good thing bringing CORE in. There isn’t anything they wouldn’t do for our community"
