Donate an Emergency Food Box
We’re partnering with Salem’s Market to provide culturally-tailored food boxes as emergency relief for families facing SNAP benefit loss. Simply purchase “Emergency Food Box” through Salem’s online-ordering system, and we’ll handle the rest! Boxes are picked up and distributed to clients each week. Salem’s kindly offers a 10% discount on all items purchased for food boxes, so that your generosity can go even further.
