WAYS TO GIVE
“Even the smallest act of caring for another person is like a drop of water-
it will make ripples throughout the entire pond...”
Not all opportunities to help include giving time. For some, it is easier to give other resources. Opportunities to help with financial support and food donations are also important to achieve our mission to alleviate hunger and its root causes in Clark County.
