Each May, our community comes together at Veteran’s Park in Manchester for the annual Walk Against Hunger, supporting our mission to fight food insecurity. Participants enjoy a walk through downtown, returning to the park for a celebration! Sponsorship opportunities are available, and individuals and teams can register to fundraise.
The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we host the Annual Breakfast, our largest fundraising event, bringing together business leaders, civic officials, volunteers and friends to support our mission of preventing and breaking the cycle of homelessness. Sponsorship opportunities are available, as well as individual tickets for those who wish to attend.
Your generosity helps us provide housing, emergency shelter, substance use treatment and food programs to individuals and families in our community, strengthening our ability to prevent and break the cycle of homelessness.
You can make an impact in many meaningful—and tax-savvy—ways, including making a one-time donation, giving a recurring gift, joining the Leadership Circle, planning a future gift, or contributing through donor-advised fund grants, gifts of stock and other non-cash contributions. Thank you for helping us provide safety, stability and hope to those who need it most.
There’s no shortage of ways to make a real impact on hunger and housing needs. On-site volunteers help prep and serve meals, keep our pantry stocked and organized, and assist our facilities team with cleaning and apartment turnovers. Prefer to help from home? You can assemble activity bags for kids while their adults attend meetings, giving families a little breathing room when they need it most.
