Americans Helping Americans - Food

It isn’t just the price of gas that has risen in the past few years; grocery inflation has also risen sharply. Families across America are seeking the least expensive mode to feed their households.

Americans Helping Americans® works with local organizations to fill in the gaps in providing healthy meals through food distribution programs.
