If we get enough votes this $25,000 grant will provide 250,000 meals to those in need. Since March 1st when COVID-19 kicked in we have distributed over 14 million pounds of food. Bread of the Mighty and State Farm are working together to make a difference one meal at a time! They really are on our side.”
