WHO WE SERVE
Serving the people of Buford, Sugar Hill and Suwanee.
The largest demographic we serve are children. We work with families to help make sure no child goes hungry. We develop relationships with our Seniors challenged with a fixed income vs their medical/prescription rising bills to make sure they have food and necessary physical and emotional needs met. We are a resource to individuals and families who have experienced a job loss, poor health, or a crisis — providing support to help during critical times.
