The Hays Food Bank has been helping to feed the elderly on fixed incomes, low-income families with children, as well as the sick, disabled, and homeless since 1984. We periodically set aside a day to help with the pick-up, sorting, and distributions of food donations. The Food Bank also helps us distribute what we gather during our church food drives.
