address and meet the need for hunger relief in our community. WaysideÂ’s volunteers help to serve prepared meals, where such meals are needed, through WaysideÂ’s Meals Program and help to collect, sort and distribute food to over 51 area pantries and agencies through WaysideÂ’s Food Rescue Program.
