Our Mission & Story
Started on March 13, 2020, when COVID hit our communities.
Anticipating a shutdown, everyone was scrambling to see if they had enough supplies and were packing the stores to stock up. It was also the week Rochelle attended an online meeting from her corporate team at NextHome (Real Estate Brokerage). During the meeting, they encouraged their teams to reach out to our past clients and check in on them.
Our Mission
Responding to needs in our community by providing food and supplies during a time of need. Non judgmental environment amongst friends to help eliminate barriers and support the power of choice.
Our Vision
Enriching lives with nourishment and friendship.
