Let's Unite as a Community!
Join Us in Supporting Each Other!
We believe that good health begins with nourishment.
We care for our community inside and out. Food insecurity affects many families in our community. We’ve created a simple food shelf in our waiting area to help our patients and neighbors. All contributions for directly to our community. Anyone can take what they need — no questions asked.
Everyone deserves nourishment.
If you’re able, please bring a healthy, shelf-stable food item to contribute at your next visit. Together we can keep our neighbors nourished and supported, as it takes a village!
If you’re in need of food items, please take what you need. If you want more discretion, you can ask your provider to gather you some items while you are in the room with your treatment. If you feel there is a greater need for something we have not thought of, please reach out. We are open to ideas and want to support our community where we can.
“All items donated by the community; please check labels for allergens.”

How to Help:
• Bring a healthy shelf-stable item to your next visit — even one item helps
• Spread the word — the more patients know, the more we build community support
• Let clinic staff know if you or someone you know needs a bag quietly — we’re here for you
Best practices:
• Focus on healthy shelf-stable foods
• Keep items simple and sealed (no perishables)
• No expired foods
• Avoid home-cooked food
What is needed:
(organic, low-sugar/sodium preferred but not necessary)
• Shelf-stable proteins (peanut butter, beans, canned salmon/tuna, lentils)
• Whole-grain pasta or rice
• Canned fruits/veggies (low-sugar/sodium)
• Granola bars, oatmeal packets, shelf milk
• Soups, Sauces
• Grocery Gift Cards
*if you want to provide fresh fruit and veg, we would be happy to except Mon-Wed and would distribute to a local free fridge in the neighborhoods that people who maybe do not have access to care can more easily access.

No one should go hungry. This is our way of caring for our community beyond appointments. Thank you for helping build a healthier, stronger community together.
