Get involved Volunteer with WHEAT | Make a donation | Contact your legislators At the heart of our organization are our volunteers. Some people come regularly each week and work in the store, food pantry or sorting through donations. Others serve on our Board of Directors or Fundraising Committees. Some help us find funding opportunities and write grant applications. We welcome help from individuals, community organizations, corporate sponsorships, church groups, and from people looking for community service opportunities to satisfy requirements for tax abatements or other income sources. Click here to inquire about immediate volunteer opportunities and pressing needs. WHEAT Community Services is a non-profit 501(c)3 agency that depends primarily on the support of private contributions. Contact us to inquire about making a financial donation to a specific cause (e.g., food pantry, homelessness prevention, training programs, etc.), or click here or on the DONATE icon to make an online contribution. We sell holiday and birthday cards that you can give, and have opportunities to make donations in memory of loved ones. We also accept, during store hours, donations of good used furniture, clothing, household items, computers and other electronics in good working condition, non-perishable food and personal hygiene items. Holiday shopping? Go to igive.com and donate a percentage of your spending to WHEAT. Read more »
Advocacy plays a critical role in the fight to address issues of interest to people with low income, such as hunger, homelessness, welfare reform, and job training. As the Alliance for Homelessness notes in their legislative alert bulletin: the more people who are well-informed and concerned about the legislation and policies affecting low income people, and the more people who are committed to making these concerns known to policymakers, the more likely it is that our nation's leaders will make the best- informed decisions affecting our nation's most vulnerable citizens. Residents are encouraged to write letters to local, state, and national legislators about pending pieces of legislation that will affect them and their neighbors. These letters are crucial in keeping active the dialogue between residents and legislators. To help you both stay informed and take necessary action in the participatory processes of federal decision-making, we offer the following links to help you get involved.
