In this plentiful Country of ours, it is difficult to imagine that even with all the devoted efforts of countless charitable individuals, organizations and businesses that emergency food pantries and shelters are continually challenged to keep their shelves stock.

Also, the face of hunger will surprise you. Hunger affects working individuals and families who are forced to make choices between food and basic necessities like heat, medicine, rent or mortgage payment. It strikes people with sudden illness, loss of income or new responsibility to care for an additional family member. It does not discriminate against age, race, gender or ethnicity and is found in even affluent suburban communities.

The United Relief Foundation welcomes and encourages similar minded people, organizations and businesses to join the Lifeline of Hope and Help in keeping shelves stocked for individuals, single parents and families in their time of need.
