How You Can Help
Hunger Relief
You can help by donating food or volunteering to prep or serve food ensuring everyone who walks through our doors is fed and cared for.
Volunteer
Volunteering is a powerful way to make a difference, in the lives of those we serve. Volunteering onsite in food prep and serving, sorting the free clothing we give out, serving coffee, cleaning up at the end of the day, fundraising, mailings, website and social media support to greeting our neighbors who walk through our doors—there’s a place for everyone to serve.
Donate
Donating money helps keep Rutland Neighbors running strong, providing meals, support, and dignity to those who need it most every single day.
Advocate
Advocating for the unhoused raises awareness, challenges stigma, and helps create lasting solutions that restore dignity and hope to our neighbors in need.
Our Vision, Mission and Values
Vision
Rutland Neighbors – welcoming everyone who comes through our doors, so they feel nurtured, hopeful, and have a sense of belonging.

Rutland Neighbors shares meals and provides safe space, assistance, and companionship for people in need.
Values
- Meeting people where they are

Radical Hospitality
We welcome every person with warmth, respect, and without judgment because everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and fed. Our doors are open to all, and we strive to create a space where people feel safe, valued, and at home.
Dignity in Every Encounter
We believe that every human being has inherent worth, no matter their circumstance. By treating each person with kindness, listening deeply, and honoring their story, we help restore the dignity that so many have been denied.
Serving 160 Individuals a Day Makes an Impact
In 2024 we served 55,855 meals. Each one a reminder that no one in our community should go hungry or feel forgotten. We can only do this with the support of the Rutland Community.
Make A Real Change In Someone’s Life
“When I first came to Rutland Neighbors, I hadn’t eaten a full meal in two days and didn’t know where else to go. But someone handed me a warm lunch, looked me in the eye, and called me by name—and that moment gave me hope again. This place didn’t just feed my body, it reminded me I still mattered.”
