SHIM’s mission is to mobilize community resources and implement sustainable programs that compassionately help our neighbors meet basic needs, achieve self-sufficiency and build community.
How can we help you?
You have the power to make a difference.
In our service area, 10,000 kids face food insecurity. We rely on neighbors like you to support the 8,500 people relying on our services.
A Federal Shutdown Shouldn’t Mean Empty Tables.
