We are starting the New Year with a new and improved Food Pantry! Our new look is designed to make shopping easier and more pleasant as well as more capacity for popular items desired by our shoppers.
With our new look comes some new guidelines that are explained below. In the spirit of the new year, we hope you will help us make our food pantry work better in 2022 by calling us and checking our wish list before donating.
