Volunteers are the heart and soul of THCA. Last year, our volunteers logged in over 18,000 hours of service to others. That’s the equivalent of 9 full-time workers sorting, packing, and distributing boxes of food, cooking meals, cleaning, and so much more! Our volunteers make what we do possible.
If you are a member of a civic organization, church, school group, or business, please encourage your organization to adopt THCA by making financial contributions, food donations, or with a service project.
Contact our Executive Director at [email protected] and we will be happy to work with you to identify how your group can be most effective.
Our Executive Director is also available to speak to groups interested in helping to work to end food insecurity.
