Here's what our members have to say about our impact.

Our members are our best advocates, here's a bit from them.

  • "My favorite classes are English as I can help others out, be better in life, know how to defend and speak up for myself and others to be successful in life."

    - A

  • "I have learned a lot about nutrition and discovered that I was doing great to my family with all the sugar and fats. I am happy I have the security to cook healthier."

    - T

  • "It is an important value to teach our children to be giving and not just take. This will build a positive character to be a generous and kind human being striving to be a better person and achieve goals to help the community."

    - K

  • "Sunday Friends supports us a lot with household items. They are always looking for the basics in these difficult times. They make us feel like we are not alone."

    - B

  • "I am now budgeting my money and not spending too much on the things I do not need. I have a savings account for my daughters for when they go to college. My daughter is also now saving money."

    - A

  • "Thanks to Sunday Friends, my children and I have some food on the table to eat. The truth has been that we have been eating healthier since we hardly ever ate fruits and vegetables before."

Now More Than Ever,
We Need Your Help

Our community is in crisis. 

  • People are out of work and prices for food and the basic essentials are at an all time high and rent rates are on the rise.

  • Families crave the information to make better informed financial decisions on where to spend and save every dollar.

  • Children need the education and mentorship to close the gap from remote learning. It is imperative that everyone has the skills in an increasingly digital era to confidently communicate and advocate what they need to get and stay ahead. 

Volunteer Opportunities

at Sunday Friends

Volunteers can help us with in-person, online, and remote opportunities such as food distribution, virtual class support, and snack pack assembly.

We are a unique organization in that we encourage families to volunteer together. Children of any age are welcome to volunteer with supervision and teens age 13 and up are welcome to volunteer on their own.
