COVID-19 UPDATE
The Pantry is happy to announce that we are open for in-person shopping. Shoppers are asked to take a number as they drive in, park their car and wait to be called in to shop. One to two families will be invited to shop at a time. Everyone will be required to wear a mask while inside, regardless of whether they are vaccinated.
In addition to our regular shelf-stable items, we have an abundance of fresh, local produce. We look forward to seeing you. Shop here first!
We are committed to keeping the pantry open to serve everyone who need food assistance in a way that is safe for our clients and for our volunteers.
Thank you for patience and understanding. See you Wednesday!
