About DARN

We’re a hands-on, compassionate team responding to real needs in our community – from food and bikes to holiday gifts and emergency support.

OUR MISSION

Supporting Families Through Community

We bring schools, partners, volunteers, and donors together so families can find the everyday essentials they need — and so our community grows more connected along the way.

The strongest support comes from neighbors helping neighbors.

02

Respect

Every family is treated with dignity and kindness.

03

Collaboration

We work with schools, counselors, and partners to find the right resources.

04

Trust

Transparency, privacy, and lasting relationships.

OUR COMMITMENT

People Are at the Heart of What We Do
