We're already halfway through January! Did you know guests may visit twice per month? Pantry hours are Tuesday & Friday 10a-12p, Thursday 11a-6:30p and Saturday 10a-12:30p.

All of this was accomplished as a 100% volunteer run organization! Interested in helping? To learn about how to donate or volunteer, go to https://t.co/dRGHVQTfIl.

Increases were seen in all categories including a 65% increase in households served, a 73% increase in individuals served and a 31% increase in pounds distributed. Additionally, we saw a nearly 100% increase in food diverted from landfills.

The impacts of 2020 on those facing food insecurity are real. As we compare our service levels from 2020 to 2019, we saw staggering increases in the numbers served.
