Donate
Because we source food for pennies on the pound, every $5 you give provides about $250 worth of groceries for a family — and $10 delivers it to a family with no transportation. Tax-deductible.
Ways to give →Give help
Your neighbors are counting on common ground.
There are three ways to fight hunger with us in Luzerne, Carbon, and Monroe counties: give, serve, or partner. Every one of them puts real food on real tables.
Volunteer
Pack and distribute groceries, drive deliveries, tend the Garden of Eating, help at food-recovery pickups, or serve at monthly community events. Come once or come every week.
Find your role →Partner
Grocers and restaurants: donate surplus food instead of dumping it. Farms: invite us to glean. Churches, banks, and businesses: sponsor a program or an event, like many across NEPA already do.

Common Ground Ministries has been a good steward of every resource entrusted to it for more than two decades — most of those years with founders taking no salary at all. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in good standing in Pennsylvania, supported by state grants, regional banks, national companies, and local churches. Your gift stays in Northeast Pennsylvania and goes to work within days, not months.
