What difference does a donation to ESF make?

Let’s take a closer look.

A gift as humble as $10 can provide 60 lbs of food for neighbors in need or two fully stocked back-to-school backpacks.

$100 provides medical and prescription assistance or a desktop computer, complete with Microsoft 365, to a family in need.

$1,000 provides one month of rent and utility assistance or senior clients with housing navigation services and transportation.
