Products

We are committed to becoming a center for healthful food options and promotion of healthy lifestyles. In an effort to feed our hungry neighbors well, the Pantry focuses on increasing the amount of lean meat and low-fat dairy products, provide fresh produce "rescued" every week from local grocers, and offer nutrition education food demonstrations, samples, and recipes with our clients.

We also help our clients with SNAP (food stamp) benefits applications and referrals to additional resources.
