Community Resources
~Theodore Roosevelt
The hunger crisis and poverty barriers that our Burlington-area families face each day cannot be defeated by one person. Together we can stand against these obstacles. We are a community that loves and cares for one another, the way God loves us. With your help, we can give our families what they need to improve their quality of life. Grab a family member, a group of friends/co-workers, or come just as you are and sign up to volunteer and support your community.
