Here’s how to find free groceries or a hot meal near you.
Food Pantry
Our pantry, located in our Community Outreach Center, provides food for people facing hunger and food insecurities. We offer non-perishable items, as well as meats, bakery items, and fresh produce. Visit the pantry once a week to receive healthy food and groceries for yourself and your family. We’re open Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. by appointments only. On Tuesday and Thursday individuals without an appointment will receive an emergency bag and will be able to make an appointment for a box of food the following week.
