This year we are raising funds to support our Food Assistance Safety Net Programs.  More than ever, it’s critical that we come together to create and hold a safe space for us all. We need to trust each other to ask for help and be able to give help. CEAP and our neighbors are turning to you now for that help. We are counting on you to extend a hand of support to keep the lights on, our Food Market stocked, and our community nourished.
