Testimonials

I enjoy volunteering with Food with Friends because I enjoy the people who visit as well as the volunteers I work with. It is a positive and non-judgmental place and serves an important function for individuals and families who are feeling their budget very much stretched these days. I have always served people in my professional life and now that I am retired it fills that need that I continue to have.

Friends with Food is a wonderful organization to volunteer at if you wish to make a difference and serve others. Providing healthy, no cost food to the community is very rewarding and greatly appreciated by the individuals and families using the service. Even if you choose not to volunteer or use the service, please consider making a Friends with Food a possible option for any financial giving you may make through the year.
