Annual Business Giving Opportunities
Support your community while receiving unique benefits that spotlight your business’ generosity.
The Caring Circle was created because giving should feel like more than a transaction—it should feel like belonging. Too often, donors make a gift and never see the deeper impact of their generosity. The Caring Circle changes that. It’s a donor platform where every supporter is invited into a community that shares values, purpose, and impact.
Food drives and volunteerism are the heartbeat of Caring Hands. Those donations and helping hands keep our shelves stocked, our doors open, and our community connected. But to truly meet the growing need, we also have to plan ahead. Dollar donations allow us to budget, leverage our buying power to purchase fresh and healthy foods, and sustain the day-to-day operations that make it all possible. Without that financial foundation, we can’t confidently promise to serve every family that turns to us for help.
By joining The Caring Circle, donors don’t just give once; they become part of an ongoing movement to feed families, strengthen neighbors, and create lasting change. In return, they receive meaningful benefits—updates, recognition, and opportunities to engage—that honor their role as partners, not just contributors.
The Caring Circle exists so that generosity feels personal, purposeful, and powerful—and so Caring Hands can continue feeding hope, one family at a time.
Join us in making a lasting impact.
