Vnw Circle of Care,Inc.

We are aiming to accomplish better nutrition, by distribution of organic food items such as produce, dairy & meat. Another accomplishment we are aiming for giving hope to the hopeless. When we get to give a person some necessity that they really need it brings a sense of hope, that someone cares and it makes a big difference in how they see their circumstances. We also have other nonprofits come to our distribution locations to provide free dental services, free cell phones, talk about County Services that are avaible, anything from rental assistance to free repairs for their homes. We also help for the Holidays with gifts., this help tremendously as it really makes the families hopeful and happy.

Our strategies for making this happen are very simple keep doing what we do day after day, being in relationship with the families we serve, get to know their story, matching them up with other resources. Providing other items like beds & pots & other necessities that really show someone you care and you want them to get up & out of the situation.

Currently we serve about 800 families per week, distributing over 1 million pounds of product each year for the last several years. all our resources are donated to Circle of Care, our administrative cost are about 2%.
