We are so very grateful for our volunteers at Mercy Brown Bag Program!

Each month, this dedicated group helps provide groceries to more than 10,000 seniors across Alameda County who might otherwise go without access to healthy food. Their compassion, energy, and generosity are the heart of this program -- and we truly could not do it without them.

We want to say thank you for helping us live out our mission every single day.

Here's to our everyday heroes!
