FOOD INSECURITY
LOW INCOMES
IMPOSSIBLE CHOICES
Our mission is to be a major resource for families who experience food insecurity (The Cupboard Food Bank), or who are struggling to get ahead in life. For some people, they have made a series of decisions that have collectively put them in bad situations; for others, they are products of their circumstances. For anyone who wants help getting back on the right track, we offer our 18-week workshop that meets once per week for 2-3 hours called, Getting Ahead.
