Our Mission to Give Back: Fighting Hunger in Our Community


Fighting Hunger Through Local and Global Partnerships
At By the Yard, giving back is central to our mission. While we are celebrated for durable, maintenance‑free outdoor furniture, we are equally committed to helping families in need. Our core focus is feeding hungry people, and we are proud to partner with respected hunger relief organizations:
- Second Harvest Heartland
- Feed My Starving Children
- Loaves & Fishes
- Union Gospel Mission
- Families Moving Forward
- Meals on Wheels
- Jordan Food Shelf and local school backpack programs
Every holiday season, our team volunteers at Feed My Starving Children, packing nutritious meal kits for families worldwide. This annual tradition embodies our commitment to service.
