Bring Joy & Hope to the Table This Season!
This holiday season, more local families are turning to IFM for help putting food on the table as CalFresh (SNAP) benefits are uncertain.
Your donation helps provide wholesome groceries, comforting holiday food, and hope for our neighbors in need.
This year’s Thanksgiving distributions include pre-made meals for smaller families and turkeys with sides for larger ones, thanks to our partnership with SPD Market and community support.
Christmas distributions will feature festive sides and pantry staples that bring warmth to the season.
Every dollar helps IFM buy food early at discounted prices and keep our shelves stocked for the growing number of families we serve.
IFM has earned Charity Navigator’s highest 4-Star rating with a 100% score for accountability, community, and leadership — so you can give with confidence.
Sponsor a family today and help feed hope this holiday season.

We Are All In This Together
We know so much uncertainty around CalFresh/ SNAP is a lot to take in. Like many of you, we’re unsure what the coming weeks will look like, but we’re preparing for more families needing help.
Thank you to everyone already stepping up as donors and volunteers, your support is keeping our community fed and hopeful.
At IFM, we’re working hard to meet this rising demand. We ask for your patience as our mostly-volunteer team navigates longer lines or fewer options due to the surge in need.
How you can help IFM right now:

We especially need non-perishable, easy-to-make items such as:
canned chicken, mac & cheese, ramen noodles, canned beans (black or kidney), canned vegetables & fruit, canned chili or ravioli, etc.
Clean, reusable paper or plastic grocery bags are always welcome, too, we go through hundreds every week!
Volunteer – Extra hands make a big difference.
If you can, come help! Volunteers are welcome any time after 7 am, Mondays through Saturdays. We are located at 440 Henderson St.
