Another vote for ozarks food harvest. Probably the best non-profit org in town

I agree, but the Drew Lewis Foundation is giving them a run for their money for sure.

The Blue House Project involves buying houses around the Fairbanks, gutting and remodeling them, and then getting low income families into them. I know of at least 5 houses so far, the latest one is their biggest project yet.

The Fairbanks has a multitude of community programs, from food distribution to community meals to a cheap bicycle shop to hosting AIM outreach events to running the Springfield Community Garden's market garden. Oh, and a program teaching community members how to handle finances, that also provides cash incentives and material things like new computers for participation and completion of the program.
