You can take as much as you need for the week. We have no limits on food, we just ask that everything fits into one cart per household. We are here to help you!

If you are currently unhoused or living with a friend or relative in our service area, you can still access our services.

Yes, the Pantry provides laundry detergent, toilet paper, and toiletries when available. Birthday bags are available for children’s birthdays, and we occasionally have pet food. We also provide resources to other area services.
Do you offer financial assistance?

No, but we will try our best to direct you to where you can get the help you need.
What if I can't make it to the Pantry?

We recommend designating a friend, neighbor, or family member to pick up groceries for you. Anyone listed in your household can also shop for you. We also offer grocery delivery within our service area. Requests should be made by phone or online before noon on the day you’d like delivery. Deliveries are currently made on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Learn more about grocery delivery.
