A Message From Melita's Plate Partners

This team is dedicated to ensuring that every plate passed makes a lasting impact in Union County. We are committed to supporting the Community Shelter of Union County’s mission by serving, raising awareness, and rallying our community around food security and housing stability. Together, we believe that access to food and safe shelter are not luxuries—they’re basic human rights. By saying “yes” to serving and giving, we stand with our neighbors, creating a ripple effect of hope and dignity. Why this is important: The shelter doesn’t just offer a bed — it offers nourishment, support, and a path toward stability. When we “pass the plate,” we’re doing more than feeding bodies; we’re fueling futures. Our participation and fundraising help bridge the gap between crisis and community, offering real, measurable change.
