The Need
The need is real: Across the state, food shelf visits have risen from 7.5 million to 9 million. Neighbors, Inc. has responded by increasing the amount of food they get to households by 24%, but they need help to keep it up.
Community Connection
More than just Neighbors, Inc., the event will feature resource tables from other nonprofit organizations as well.
“Our hope is that attendees will feel inspired to get involved, whether that’s with Neighbors, Inc. or another organization that aligns with their passions,” said Hoffman. “When people engage with their community, they feel more connected and empowered to make a difference.”
