Our Mission is to relieve poverty and hunger in a compassionate manner for families and individuals who are experiencing economic hardship and food shortages.

This assistance may include food, medicine, and referrals to other community resources.

The Hunger and Health Coalition meets emergency needs while acting as a community resource assisting those in need to find a more permanent solution.
