We are closed today, July 3, 2025. We hope our dedicated volunteers are taking this opportunity to rest and spend quality time with their loved ones. Our volunteers are the backbone of our food pantry, and their tireless efforts ensure its smooth operation. Their responsibilities encompass a wide cuz range of tasks, including tending to our garden, maintaining stocked shelves, assisting customers, preparing meal kits, cleaning the facility, conducting customer follow-ups, writing grants, and managing finances. We extend our sincerest appreciation to each and every one of our volunteers. Please take this time to recharge, as we will resume our regular hours on Monday, July 7th, at 1:00 pm. ...
