We are dedicated to making a positive impact in the Tri-Valley community. We understand that poverty and hunger exist, even if they are often overlooked. Our organization is committed to being inclusive, diverse, equitable, accessible, and liberating ("IDEAL"). We strive to ensure that no one in our community goes hungry. Through our various programs and initiatives, we provide meals and support to thousands of individuals and families facing food insecurity. By addressing the root causes of hunger, we aim to create a brighter future for everyone.
