At DFD Russell, we know that health isn’t just about what happens in a doctor’s office. It’s also about what’s happening at home—especially in the kitchen. Access to nutritious food is essential to feeling well, staying strong, and managing chronic conditions. That’s why we want to help connect you with local resources that can lighten the load.
In our area, there are neighbors and organizations offering support—quietly, kindly, and without judgment. Whether it’s your first time visiting a pantry or you’ve been before, you’ll be met with respect and a helping hand.
