Our Food Pantry is dedicated to alleviating hunger within our community by offering food distributions every two weeks to families and individuals in need. We believe that no one should go hungry, and our goal is to offer sustenance, hope, and compassion to those facing food insecurity.

Food distribution takes place on Fridays, biweekly, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Members can:

• Donate non-perishable food items.

• Contribute financially to help us purchase fresh produce and essential items.

• Volunteer their time to help with sorting, packing, and distributing food.

• Spread the word to ensure more people in need become aware of our services.

While we appreciate all donations, the most needed items include:

• Canned fruits and vegetables.

• Canned meats (chicken, tuna, etc).

• Cereal and oatmeal.

• Pasta and rice.

• Canned or dried beans.

• Peanut butter.

• Shelf-stable milk.

• Baby food and formula.

The community can:

• Drop off non-perishable food donations Sundays and Wednesdays.

• Volunteer for various roles, from administrative help to food distribution.

• Spread awareness about our pantry's mission and its importance.

• Support fundraising events organized for the pantry.

All food donations are thoroughly inspected to ensure they are not expired, opened, or damaged. We adhere strictly to health and safety guidelines, ensuring that food storage and distribution meet high standards.

Absolutely! We provide training for all volunteers. Whether you have experience or not, your willingness to help is what counts the most.
