  • Pantry clients are issued one client service card per household, which is used to collect food once a month from our pantry.

    When collecting food, clients must have their client service card and ID. The only exception is for USDA/TFAP food distributions.

    Clients can take part in other food programs like Easter and Thanksgiving food distributions without affecting their monthly visit.

    Clients can also collect food for one extra household (a relative, friend, or neighbor) if that household is registered with us and has authorized the client as a designated pick-up person.

  • Visit us in person Tuesday, Thursday 12pm-2pm or saturday 9am-11am

    Register and pick up food the same day!
