Seasonal programs
Help that follows the seasons.
- [Volunteers handing out box fans on a hot day]Summer
Summer cooling — fans & A/C
When the heat turns dangerous, we distribute box fans and help neighbors at risk access air conditioning and utility support to stay safe.
Who it serves: Older adults, families with young children, and neighbors with health conditions
- [Backpacks and school supplies lined up]Late summer
Back-to-school supplies
Backpacks, supplies, and clothing vouchers help kids start the school year ready and confident — no family left scrambling.
Who it serves: School-age children in families receiving assistance
- [Donated non-perishables at a thrift-store drop-off]Summer

Pantry shelves thin out in summer when school meals pause. Drop non-perishables at any thrift store, or give, to keep food flowing.
Who it serves: Families who rely on choice pantries year-round
- [Wrapped gifts and a holiday meal box]Holidays
Holiday dinners & toys
Holiday meal boxes and an adopt-a-family toy program help neighbors mark the season with dignity and a little joy.
Who it serves: Families and older adults facing a hard holiday
- [Rack of donated winter coats]Fall & winter
Winter coat drive
Warm coats, hats, and gloves for the whole family, distributed through the thrift stores and outreach center as the cold sets in.
Who it serves: Neighbors of every age heading into winter without warm clothing
Year-round, too
Seasonal or not, there's always a next step.
Food, medicine, and help with the bills are available all year. Call the Help Line and a neighbor will point you to the closest help.
