How it works

One cycle, every month

Every hamper starts with a food drive, gets packed by volunteers, and reaches a family on distribution day. Here is where you fit in.

  1. Volunteers with a shopping cart full of donated groceries beside the One Love Table banner

    Drive

    Food and funds are collected from sponsors, partners, and our community.

    Pack

    Volunteers sort the donations and pack them into monthly hampers.
