Help Support AIO Food & Energy All Year Round.

Recurring monthly donation provides consistent funding that AIO can rely on all year round, providing fresh and healthy food for our market. We purchase milk, eggs, and fresh produce from local wholesale distributors weekly. In 2022, we spent more than $173,000 on food to support our food assistance programs. At retail market value, this represents more than one-half million dollars of food! This year, we see nearly 60% more visits to our market. Your monthly donation will help us keep pace with the increasing need and allow us to continue to provide quality food for families in our community.
