Provide healthy snacks and non-food essential items to Edgewood Area families experiencing transportation needs and unable to access existing fixed food pantry locations. Packages are distributed through a partnership with the Boys & Girls Club on the Go.
Families experiencing food, housing, and transportation insecurities continue to be a great need in the Edgewood community. The fund provides financial assistance to individuals/families who are facing unexpected emergencies, as referred by local agencies. Funds are made possible through private donations.
