A New Approach to Community Nourishment
A New Approach to Community Nourishment We're excited to announce a significant shift in how we serve our community. After thoughtful consideration, we're "sunsetting" some of our legacy programs like big events, to focus our resources where they create the most impact: distributing nutrient-dense foods directly to our neighbors in need.
Why Change?
- Federal funding cuts have created significant gaps in food assistance programs
- SNAP benefit reductions have left more families struggling to put food on the table
- Rising poverty rates in our community demand a more focused, efficient response
- Local food sourcing strengthens our community's food system and economy
Your Donation: 100% Impact
Traditional galas typically spend 30-50% of funds raised on the event itself. With The UnGala, every dollar you donate goes directly to our mission. No fancy dinners. No decorations. No venue costs. Just pure impact.
Thank you to our Ungala Sponsors:
