Feeding Woodbury, Together
Thanks to this tremendous community support, we’re able to provide much-needed food assistance to more than 90+ households each week. Every donation, large or small, helps keep our shelves stocked and reminds us of what makes Woodbury so special — a community that comes together to care for and support its neighbors. Thank you for continuing to stand with us, and with the households we serve.
Beyond Groceries: Our Pet Food Program
We know that pets are family too, and that feeding a household doesn’t stop at the humans in it. Through a partnership with Davis Companion Animal Hospital, Kaz’s Pantry, Natural Pet Market, and Pine Grove Veterinary Office, the Food Bank is able to offer pet food to families who need it, so no one has to choose between feeding themselves and feeding the animal who depends on them.
Growing Together: Our Plant a Row Program
Our Plant a Row program encourages neighbors to share fresh produce from their school and home gardens with our food bank. Along with these generous donations, our dedicated volunteers tend to our community garden, growing and harvesting fresh vegetables for the families we serve. During the holidays, our seasonal programs bring even more support to Woodbury families.
