Donate to fill our Holiday Meal Bags and keep our pantry stocked!
Our community is facing an unexpected crisis. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits have been paused for the month of November. Families who depend on this vital support are already turning to us in record numbers for help putting food on the table. The number of clients we serve daily has tripled. Even with taking extra food to our mobile pantry sites we are still running out.
We anticipate a sharp increase in clients seeking assistance in the coming weeks. Please donate food or financial assistance to Wellspring so we can serve families who are doing their best but suddenly find themselves without the resources to buy groceries. Wellspring’s shelves are already being stretched thin. We need your help now to ensure we can meet the rising demand. No one should have to go hungry because of a delay beyond their control. Together, we can make sure that every family who comes to our doors leaves with the food they need.

Committed to Respecting the Dignity and Individuality of Our Participants
At Wellspring, we are deeply committed to respecting the dignity and individuality of every person who walks through our doors. Whether through our Food Bank, Wellspring Shoppe, or youth programs, we meet each participant with compassion, understanding, and respect. We recognize that every individual and family has their own story, strengths, and needs, and we strive to create an environment where all feel valued and supported. Our food and clothing services are designed to offer choice, privacy, and kindness, ensuring that no one feels judged or defined by their circumstances. In our youth programs, we honor each child’s unique potential by fostering belonging, encouraging self-expression, and celebrating growth. In our Food Bank, clients are empowered to choose the foods that best meet their family’s needs, while in The Shoppe, individuals can browse and select clothing items that fit their style and preferences, promoting dignity, confidence, and self-worth. Across all we do, Wellspring upholds the belief that every person deserves to be treated with dignity, empathy, and care.
