CAER Events

CAER Food Shelf events bring community members together and help us provide support and assistance to local friends and neighbors who need a helping hand.


You can be part of our mission. Get involved as a donor or sponsor, or you can register to participate in or attend one of our upcoming community events.

Join hands to help fight food insecurity in our community with these CAER events.
