Project Salina Over The Years

In the first year of Project Salina, there were a total of 23 businesses that participated in Project Salina. We now have nearly 200 businesses that participate each year.

When it first started, Project Salina just collected food products in May. Over the years, the needs of the agencies changed, so we have also changed how we help them. We encourage cash donations instead of product (the reason for the decline in food items collected over the years), so that we can help the five agencies when they need food anytime of the year.
