You may receive food every 21 days at our weekly pantry.  You may also receive food at our Mobile Food Pantry events. Mobile Food Pantry events do not count towards the 21 day rule.

We are only closed on major holidays.  Always check here and our FaceBook page for the most current information.

1 Million

Pounds!

January 8, 2020

We were able to distribute 1 million pounds of food last year!  That is the most we have ever given out.

​

If you can spare a few hours a week, or a few hours a month, we are happy to have you work along side of us serving our hungry neighbors.

​

If you are able to make a financial donation, we want you to know 100% of your gift stays in the food pantry!   Every gift makes an impact in the lives of so many.

 

We appreciate you and your generosity.  Together we can make 2020 a year of abundant giving and service to our neighbors.
