Common Heart

Common Heart is a grassroots movement of friends serving the needs of our neighbors and motivated by God's love. Serving our community since 2006, their programs are designed to engage community volunteer action in three areas: food pantries, thrift stores, and economic empowerment.

What began in 2006 as four friends, is now more than 350 friends serving hungry families each and every month! In 2017, during our 12th year, we delivered a week's worth of groceries to 3,787 families through our traditional pantries and served another 1,023 families through our mobile pantries. That's more than 16,078 people! As the small revolution matures it is becoming increasingly about empowering folks to move out of poverty.
