Community Programs
HUNGER CENTER
Our Hunger Center program is comprised of a choice model food pantry, a community meal, and a monthly Mobile Pantry. Through the food pantry, neighbors can visit as needed to select 3-5 days’ worth of groceries such as pantry staples, fresh bread, fresh produce, and various perishable and non-perishable items. Every Tuesday evening, community residents can join us for a free, hot community meal. In addition, on the first Monday of the month*, we host our Mobile Pantry; neighbors can come by and stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables.
*If the first Monday of the month falls on a holiday, the Mobile Pantry distribution will be rescheduled for the following Monday.
