HELP FEED FAMILIES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

"Getting food from Mercadito has been a blessing for me and my family. It helps us get by, especially when money’s tight. We're grateful—reminds us we’re not alone."
— Leticia, Mercadito Participant

The holiday season is a time for warmth, joy, and gathering with loved ones around a shared meal. But for many families in our community, the simple comfort of a nourishing meal is still out of reach.

Mercadito, our semi-monthly food distribution program, is working to change that. By providing fresh fruits, vegetables, and essential staples, we ensure that no one in our community has to face hunger alone. Your support directly helps families in need and strengthens a sense of hope and resilience in our community.
