How we serve

Good Works offers weekly food-shelf and food-rescue distributions. Our food shelf uses a client-choice model, allowing households to select from available food based on their needs and preferences.

Available items vary and may include fresh produce, meat, dairy products, pantry staples, and household items.

Our program and partners

Good Works Food Shelf participates in The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). We partner with Second Harvest Heartland and The Food Group to help make food available to the people and families we serve.

In 2025, Good Works Food Shelf served 6,500 households, distributing 263,643 pounds of food to neighbors in our community.
