Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Call (445) 208-0177, use the Contact Now button or the form on the Contact page to ask which program fits, or use the Sign Up to Volunteer form on the Volunteer page..
What to expect
The page does not describe a first visit. Programs meet at partner sites, so the place and time depend on the program, and the office keeps hours on Tuesday to Thursday, 4:00 to 7:30 pm. Food giveaways are free, and the group also holds events such as a 2026 holiday event for families.
Tips for your first visit
- Call (445) 208-0177 before you go to ask which program fits.
- Ask whether walk-ins are welcome, since the page does not say.
- Check the Events page, but note that many listed events do not print a date.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Programs are open to the public, and the site gives a phone number, a contact form and a sign-up route for volunteers. It does not say whether walk-ins are welcome..
Cost and commitment
- Cost
- Low cost. Food giveaways are free. PJ and Pages costs $20 per child per year. Career coaching asks for a small donation when possible. The site gives no fee for other programs.
