Food donations

Food Pantry

We distribute dry and canned goods through our Food Pantry to patrons all year round. We provided supplemental food through this program to nearly 6,000 of our neighbors in 2020.

We gladly accept donations of unopened and unexpired food, including spices and condiments. We also accept garden produce.

Commonly needed items include: tuna, soup, pasta, pasta sauce, peanut butter, canned stew, oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, and ramen noodles.

Dining Room

Our Dining room provides a hot breakfast and lunch six days a week. We serve a combined average of 250 hot meals a day (breakfast and lunch).

We gladly accept donations of common breakfast items, and meat and vegetables which we make for lunch.

Common donations include turkey, ham, and ground beef. For breakfast oatmeal, cereal, sugar (regular and brown), orange juice, and fresh fruit.
