How does it work?
Recipients of the pantry can stop by during distribution hours, which are Thursdays from 1pm-7pm.  Eligible patrons come inside and shop for food items, much like a regular grocery store.  Foods available include an assortment of canned goods, cereals, meat, frozen foods, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of personal care items.The amount of food available is intended to meet you/your family’s nutritional needs for a period of 3-5 days.  We have volunteers to help answer questions and describe the items available to you.
