The needs of our community demand that we grow

 
 
 
 

It’s time for NETWorks to take a Big Leap forward!

Every year, we’ve increased the number of people we serve and the nutritional value of food we distribute.

With our new 6,500 square feet of office and warehouse space with room to grow, we’ll be able to increase our efficiency, accommodate more nutritious, fresh produce, and extend the number of people we serve by 30-40%.

 

Closing the hunger gap requires collaboration and community support.

It requires hard work and dedication, a commitment to work together to help provide access to nutritious foods for our neighbors. Our bold, strategic plan will expand, enhance, and enrich services, relationships, and impact.

Our mission is to respond with the hospitality of Christ to the food and financial needs of residents and to partner with them to find long-term solutions to poverty.
