SERVE WITH TABITHA’S WAY
YOUR help makes AN IMPACT

Susan is a single mom of three who left a domestic violence situation about a year ago and had to start over. She needed and applied for every welfare program she could: housing, medicaid, WIC, and Tabitha’s Way.
Every time Susan came in, she would be in tears because she only made enough to cover rent. She took the bus here because she had no money for gas. Susan’s sense of shame gradually evaporated as our staff and volunteers treated her with understanding, love, and open arms. Soon she met another woman her age in a similar situation and that made things easier.
A month ago, Susan walked up to me and handed over her client card and said that this would be the last time she would be coming in. Susan had secured a better job and could now make ends meet on her own.
Tabitha’s Way currently helps over 300 families in the area with about 30 new families applying for assistance every week.
One of the most impactful things you can do is donate your time or resources. Tabitha’s Way in American Fork has lots of ideas and opportunities.
Donate Time
Volunteers are the heart of Tabitha’s Way. Whether it’s just one hour or 5 hours, it will make a difference in the community! Sign up as an individual, as a family, or as a small group.
Holiday Food Drives through December
Volunteers with pickup trucks, vans or SUVs are needed to drop off donation barrels and pick up items from schools and businesses.
Donate Food & Supplies
Over 90 percent of the food distributed by Tabitha’s Way comes from food drives and grocery rescue. Every donation makes a huge impact. For a list of items needed, scan the QR code. Right now we especially need the following items: toilet paper and size 5 & 6 diapers.
