Community Food Needs

Posted on by csnnc
Urgent Need in Our Community
We’re experiencing an unprecedented increase in the number of people relying on IFM for food assistance—and at the same time, we’re facing a significant decrease in funding.
This combination has created a critical challenge for our mission to ensure no one in our community goes hungry.
How You Can Help:
  • Donate: Every dollar makes a difference.
  • Volunteer: Your time can help us meet growing needs.
  • Spread the Word: Share this post to raise awareness.
Together, we can overcome these challenges and continue to serve those who need us most. Visit our website to learn more or get involved today.
Thank you for your support—our community depends on it!

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month!
How do we celebrate? By doing what we always do….offering dental screenings through Nevada County Public Health’s Oral Health Program so that we can keep children smiling bright.
This month we’ll be at four sites:
Feb 10th-Grizzly Hill Elementary
Feb 19th-Madelyn Helling Library Stay and Play (education only)

Tooth decay is the number one preventable chronic childhood disease and it is responsible for the most school absences.
