Helping provide meals and essential items to families and individuals

The Staggers Foundation — In Honor of Da Vontay Da Shawn Staggers Sr. operates a food pantry dedicated to meeting immediate nutritional needs and stabilizing households in our community. We distribute meals and essential items with dignity and respect, prioritizing accessibility, safety, and consistent support for families and individuals facing food insecurity.

What we provide

• Nonperishable groceries: rice, pasta, canned proteins, vegetables, fruits, beans, and shelf-stable milk.

• Fresh produce and refrigerated items when available.

• Prepared meal kits for families and seniors.

• Personal care essentials: soap, toothpaste, feminine hygiene products, diapers, and cleaning supplies.

• Baby formula and other infant needs on request.

• Information on nutrition, meal planning, and local assistance programs.

How we operate

• Intake and eligibility: Simple, confidential intake to assess needs. No judgment; we aim to remove barriers to access.

• Distribution schedule: Regular weekly distributions with special holiday and emergency events.

• Culturally appropriate options: We strive to include culturally relevant foods and accommodate dietary restrictions when possible.

• Safety and sanitation: Food handling follows public health standards to ensure safe distributions.

Volunteer and donation opportunities

• Volunteer roles: sorting and packing food, staffing distribution days, delivery to homebound households, and community outreach.

• Donating items: We accept shelf-stable foods, unopened personal care goods, and monetary donations to purchase fresh items and cover operational costs.

• Drives and partnerships: Businesses, schools, and faith communities can host food drives or sponsor distributions.

Impact and accountability

• Measurable outcomes: We track number of households served, meals distributed, and demographic needs to improve service delivery.

• Transparency: Regular reports on pantry inventory, expenditures, and program outcomes are available to supporters.

• Continuous improvement: Community feedback guides our menu, distribution times, and supplemental services.

Connecting people with support, encouragement, and local resources

At The Staggers Foundation — in honor of Da Vontay Da Shawn Staggers Sr. — we believe community strength begins when individuals can access what they need to move forward: practical resources, compassionate encouragement, and consistent support. Our work focuses on building bridges between people and the services that empower them to thrive.

What we do

• Direct referrals: We connect individuals and families to vetted local services — housing assistance, food programs, mental health counseling, legal aid, job training, and veteran resources — so help is timely and appropriate.

• Warm handoffs: Rather than sending people to listings, our staff and volunteers make active introductions and follow up to reduce barriers and ensure services are utilized.

• Peer encouragement: Trained peer mentors provide emotional support, goal-setting guidance, and accountability to help participants navigate transitions and stay engaged with resources.

• Community navigation: We maintain up-to-date, localized resource maps and a network of partner organizations to streamline access and minimize duplication of effort.

• Outreach and education: Workshops, community forums, and informational materials increase awareness of available programs and teach people how to advocate for themselves.

How we measure impact

• Outcomes-focused tracking: We monitor successful linkages, service uptake, and progress toward participant-defined goals.

• Feedback loops: Regular participant and partner feedback shapes program improvements and ensures services meet real needs.

• Local partnership growth: We track collaboration rates with community organizations to expand the reach and depth of support.

Who we serve Our programs prioritize individuals and families facing economic hardship, houselessness, justice-system involvement, mental health challenges, and other barriers to stability. Services are offered with dignity, confidentiality, and cultural responsiveness.

How to connect Contact our local offices or attend one of our community sessions to speak with a navigator. If you represent a community organization and want to partner, we welcome coordinated referral pathways and joint programming.

Our commitment We honor Da Vontay Da Shawn Staggers Sr. by ensuring that no one in our community faces barriers alone. Through sustained relationships, clear pathways to services, and a culture of encouragement, The Staggers Foundation helps people find the resources they need to rebuild, recover, and succeed.
