Ways To Direct Your Giving

Greatest Need

When you give to Greatest Need, your donation provides flexible, powerful support that allows us to respond to urgent needs and continue offering life-changing services.  Your gift helps us provide financial assistance to families facing crisis, purchase essential equipment to keep our programs running smoothly, and improve and expand our facilities to better serve our clients.  These unrestricted gifts are vital−they allow us to adapt, grow, and serve with excellence every day.
(Less than 4% of our donations are used for administrative expenses, based on our most recent audit report.)
GREATEST NEED

Food Acquisition

When you give to Food Acquisition, your donation helps us provide food to supplement our community donations.  It is also used to fund special food programs such as Backpack Buddies and Summer Buddies, as well as special holiday food distributions.  Every dollar helps us feed more families and meet urgent needs in our community.
FOOD ACQUISITION

Real Life Center Orchard

When you give to the RLC Orchard, your financial gift helps our Orchard thrive, providing fresh, nutritious fruits directly to the families we serve. Financial donations directed to the RLC Orchard are used to plan and maintain crops that feed hundreds of local families, purchase tools, seeds, and supplies to keep the Orchard productive year-round, and support volunteer efforts that make harvesting and upkeep possible.
