Donate to the Farms to Families Fund
Give local. Feed local. Strengthen our community.
Every dollar you give to the Wayne County Farms to Families Fund, a fund under the Wayne County Community Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, goes directly toward purchasing fresh food from nearby farms.
Through the Wayne County Food Pantry System and community partners, the food reaches local families with dignity and care.
In a rural county like ours, many neighbors are just one crisis away from hunger. Whether it’s job loss, illness, or rising costs, food insecurity hides in plain sight.
We’re here to change that — with your help.
