Every route below turns directly into groceries on the pantry shelf within the same week.
Because we buy much of our fresh produce and culturally specific staples in bulk, monetary gifts stretch further than most in-kind donations. Every dollar goes directly toward stocking the pantry shelves and keeping delivery routes running.
Zina Community Food Support is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 87-1702585). Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and you'll receive a receipt for your records.
We're setting up online giving. Until then, the fastest way to donate is to reach out directly — we'll walk you through it, whether that's a check, a bank transfer, or another way that works for you.
