Second Mile Mission
We are proud to partner with a local non-profit that has served our area for years by meeting the needs of families in our community.
Throughout the year, we partner to provide back-to-school supplies, family toiletries, and groceries to stock their warehouse. Additionally, volunteers join their team to help manage their distribution and tend to their warehouse.
The Need to Address Poverty
For children living in poverty, a lack of food can delay growth and learning. Children facing hunger are more likely to repeat a grade in school or have behavioral challenges. Adults and seniors in poverty often see health challenges compound, with the weight of the family’s needs upon them.
Our local neighbors face decisions like whether to pay for their light bill, a doctor’s visit, or eyeglasses. This is debilitating for those with chronic conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension, that continue to go uncared for when funds are short. Around 40 percent of individuals served are children, 50 percent are adults ages 18 to 64, and 10% are seniors ages 65 and up.
