Give To The Branch
Our work would be impossible without your generosity. Every donation to The Branch makes a difference to our neighbors and their families.
Will you help us care for our neighbors?
We believe that everyone has the right to flourish where they live. That’s why we work hard to give people some of the tools they need—nutritious food, English language classes, comprehensive care—to become financially and physically healthy. TOGETHER, we can bring hope to our neighbors!

Food 4 Families Project
Gather a group to collect food, pack boxes, and deliver to The Branch. Purchase boxes or repurpose boxes and assemble items, aiming for 3-4 days of food. Register your project and let us know when you will drop if off. Drop off times are Mon, Tues, Fri 9AM-1PM, or Sat 9AM-11AM. Closed on Thursdays.
Here is a suggested list of food items but feel free to substitute:
- Rice
- Pasta
- Tuna
- Lentils
- Peanut butter
- Tomato sauce
- Canned veggies
Consider adding a $20 grocery store gift card to purchase meat and produce.
Use this opportunity to teach children about hunger needs.
- Imagine going to school without breakfast or not having dinner before you go to bed tonight.
- Some kids may feel tired or sad because they didn’t have enough to eat.
- 1 out of 5 children don’t have enough to eat
Have children draw pictures or write notes of prayer, encouragement, or love. Consider attaching these to a goodie bag, pack of gum, or candy bar. Treats like this make people smile!
