Year-Round Impact

🍽️ Tuesday Community Dinner

Fueling Fellowship, One Plate at a Time.

Many Summit County neighbors lack nutritious food and community connections. We have served a complete, balanced meal every Tuesday since 2009, surpassing 200,000 free meals in 2025.

♻️ Community Plastic Recycling

Keeping Our Mountain Landfills Clean.

Millions of pounds of clean, recyclable plastics get buried forever in local landfills due to restrictive trash sorting. We have diverted over 25,000 pounds of plastic waste and transformed them into beautiful community benches.

🪖 Military & Veteran Support

Honoring our Troops.

Veterans and wounded warriors face physical recovery hurdles and deserve meaningful community recognition. We actively fund the BOEC Adaptive Military Ski Program, the local Veterans Day Concert, and the Dillon Memorial Day ceremony.

For the Holidays

👼 Adopt-an-Angel
Bringing Holiday Joy to Local Families.
Hundreds of working families in Summit County struggle to afford warm coats and basic holiday gifts for their children. We partner with local non-profits to distribute warm coats and toys to over 700 children across more than 400 families last winter alone.

 

🦃 Thanksgiving Community Dinner
Bringing warmth, comfort, and connection to the holiday season.
The holidays can be a challenging, isolating time for local individuals and families who lack access to a festive meal or community connection. We host a full traditional Thanksgiving dinner, inviting everyone in our community to sit down, enjoy great food, and share fellowship together completely free of charge.
