HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS IN NEED

The Food Pantry is an outreach to supply free food to area residents that are experiencing a time of need. The doors are opened the third Thursday of each month from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. There are NO INCOME REQUIREMENTS to receive this food basket. If you qualify for USDA Commodities, those are also distributed on the same day and will be added to the regular food distribution.
