What we offer

Programs

The heart of it

Food pantry

Groceries by appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and an emergency food box for anyone who needs one today.

First-time clients bring a photo ID; we will hand you a short list of what to bring next time. Appointments can take a few hours, so plan for that when you come.

How to get help

Monthly yard sale

Racks go out front, doors open at nine, and everything raised goes straight back into the pantry. First Saturday of every month, 9am until noon — come early for the best of it.
