A Reason to Smile
A few weeks ago someone brought a customer to Table Of Plenty that she had met through another project. She knew that this lady really needed food. She said that this person had a lot of medical issues and rarely smiled. She said that when they left, the lady couldn’t quit smiling she was so happy and grateful for all the food she had received.

Emergency Food Box Program

You and your family are hungry. Your community can help you through rough times.

Marion-Polk Food Share’s Emergency Food Box program feeds hungry individuals and families on an urgent-need basis. We provide healthy food to alleviate hunger throughout Marion & Polk County through: 
    • Direct distribution through neighborhood pantries 
    • Direct distribution through a mobile pantry located at high need elementary schools 
    • Opening our warehouse to agencies to cooler shop for fresh produce and dairy products 

    Marion–Polk Food Share partners with a network of over 80 member charities to provide food through food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, afterschool care programs and senior housing units.
