Ways to Give

One-Time Gift

By making a one-time gift, you are helping fund vital programs that help individuals and families facing poverty, job loss, and financial hardship. Monetary donations allow Community Resource Service to purchase the food and essential items we need, often at wholesale prices, stretching every dollar further. Each year, we rely on our community to help raise over one million dollars to make this vital support possible.  

Thank you. Together we are working to fill plates and build futures.
