Community Works is a registered charity operated entirely by volunteers and relies on funds and food donations from individuals, churches, service clubs, and corporations, rather than government or United Way support. It serves 60 to 70 households each week, impacting 120 to 190 men, women, and children. In addition to providing food, the organization also offers clothing and small housewares. Community Works prepares Christmas hampers annually for clients. The food supply is partially supported by Food4All, a program operated by Northumberland County.
