Mike Gibson, Mulhaupt's

As a small business it’s important to participate in community events. Doing a project as worthwhile as Food Finders brings your employees together. We’d like to encourage more small businesses to join in.

Mayor Roswarski, City of Lafayette

Food Finders provides a much needed safety net in our community. Their commitment, dedication, and compassion fill a basic need for many of our citizens. Food Finders is an important community resource.

Deb McGee, IFCU

With IFCU’s slogan being, ‘Making a difference, sharing the benefits’ – it was truly a rewarding experience getting to bring our words into action as sponsor of Community Harvest. It’s encouraging to see how the generosity and hard work of this community’s members-of all ages-can bring about such amazingly successful results!

Donna Osborne, It's My Closet

Food Finders has been a huge blessing to our program. I have been able to purchase toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, deodorant, comforters to so many of our clients and they have just been ecstatic. The people were so thankful; one mom got tears in her eyes. In case you can’t tell, I am overwhelmed with the goodness that Food Finders has enabled us to share with our families.
