Food Pantry
The Food Pantry is open Monday-Wednesday and Friday 10 am -1 pm. If it’s your first time to visit our food pantry, we can take care of the intake process when you arrive. It’s best if you have some form of identification and proof of income. No one in need of food will be turned away for any reason.
