Donate Resources
The Community Action Food Bank and its pantries provide food for 150-200 families per day. These families are not the same individuals that come week in and week out, but new residents facing unforeseen challenges. On average, families come to seek services twice through our agency and never return. By donating food or organizing a food drive in your neighborhood, you can help provide meals to families in need.
In addition to food, CASFB is always in need of other basic essentials including: toilet paper, hygiene items and diapers. These items can be donated in the same manner as other donations.
Donate Money
CASFB also offers a number of services that assist individuals with employment, rent, utility bills and mortgage default. Adequate funding is necessary to keep these programs running. By donating money to CASFB you can help our services continue to serve people. To donate funds, click here.
