Emergency Food Box Program for DV Victims

Our food pantry plays a critical role in addressing food insecurity among vulnerable populations in our community who are survivors of domestic violence. By procuring wholesale groceries, frozen chicken, hygiene products, and baby essentials, we provide immediate relief to clients, families and individuals facing financial hardship. Access to nutritious food is a fundamental human right, and our pantry ensures that no one in our network goes hungry.

Additionally, our sustainable approach—encouraging reusable shopping bags—reduces environmental waste while fostering a sense of responsibility among beneficiaries. Maintaining this pantry is essential to bridging the gap between food scarcity and dignity for our clients and others in need.

Since January 2025, our initiative has supported 332 individuals, including low-income women who are victims of domestic violence, families, single parents, and elderly community members. For many, the pantry has been a lifeline, allowing them to allocate limited funds toward other essential expenses like rent, utilities, and medical care. Parents no longer have to choose between buying food and diapers, while others have expressed gratitude for the consistent access to wholesome meals. Beyond meeting basic needs, the pantry fosters community solidarity, as beneficiaries often share how this support has alleviated stress and improved their overall well-being.

To sustain this vital service, we rely on donations through GlobalGiving and partnerships with local stakeholders. Every contribution helps us purchase bulk food items at lower costs, maximizing the impact of each dollar. The growing demand—evidenced by the 332 individuals served—demonstrates the pantry’s necessity. By continuing this initiative, we not only fight hunger but also empower our clients to regain stability. With ongoing support, we can expand our reach, ensuring that many of our clients do not have to face food insecurity alone. Together, we can build a healthier, more resilient community.
