Community Resources
Mighty Writers began providing meals and groceries to our communities' families in need in 2020. We continue to distribute food, diapers, period products, books and other essential items at several of our Mighty Writers locations, as well as several PHA centers.
Please note:
- There may be longer lines at some locations.
- Some recipients may have to fill out registration forms and/or show ID.
- We DO NOT REQUIRE proof of U.S. citizenship.
- Mighty Writers receives food from The Emergency Food Assistance Program. Click here for more information on the USDA's nondiscrimination policy.
