About Us
ROC is a rapidly growing Food Bank which has established itself as one that treats all our clients with human dignity and respect. Our service is offered to everyone without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age or handicap. Our clientele consists of working families that just can't make ends meet as well as low income, no income and home bound individuals.
We provide on a consistent basis food and weather appropriate clothing as well as small necessary household items. We also provide Thanksgiving and Christmas Baskets during the holiday seasons to help families through.
We co-labor with our community resources and other food banks to help create a blanket effect trying to ensure that no one falls through the cracks.
Though we are fairly new we have very strong goals for the future which include but are not limited to a GED program working with our local Community College to ensure a basic education, information and opportunities for further education possibilities, a Job Connection program in which we would work with local businessmen willing to train and hire. We also would like to have family finance classes, cooking and child rearing classes. You see our Motto is "not just a hand out but a hand up" We are currently involved with anti-hunger advocacy and are deeply committed to community awareness.
As our location and love for people is discovered, we find we are serving more and more each week. It is our goal to never turn anyone away. We have tripled our service to our community in just a few short months and feel that this kind of growth will continue.
