Meet the team

Our delivery teams are all comprised of volunteers! They distribute food, clothing, and related services are performed by individuals who have been helped by the organization, corporations, government entities, veterans, and local colleges and high schools.

"Many times these teams use their own money for gas and rental of trucks when funding is low or absent from the organization. 

When funding is available, crews are reimbursed for their expenses."
