How it Helps

The bowl of cereal that fills a child’s stomach,
the can of soup that warms an elderly person, the lunch that sustains
the person working hard at finding employment—these are the situations
that make the work we do so rewarding. Help the Cochrane Food Bank fight
hunger by giving food.
