Grey Bears

Organization Description

Grey Bears improves the health and well-being of seniors and our community through food and meal deliveries, volunteerism, resource conservation and recycling. Our programs include a grocery bag delivery to 4,000 seniors, disabled persons, and farmworkers throughout the community, a daily food pantry with food recovered from local grocery stores, and kitchen that serves breakfast and lunch daily using recovered food. Additionally, we have a large recycling, e-waste and thrift store program all of which help to fund our food programs.
