Food Pantry

Program Overview

The food pantry provides a variety of free, healthy food to anyone in the community, regardless of age, income, immigration status, sexual orientation or gender identity.  No ID or income verification is needed. The food pantry is open Monday through Friday 9am-3pm, and while the items we have in stock vary, we try to maintain a variety of shelf stable food, fresh produce, and dairy, meat, and vegetarian options. Visitors are welcome to come to the pantry on a weekly basis.   

A Choice Pantry and Farm Stand is available seasonally (April through October), and invites visitors to shop for items of their choice, free of charge.  

The food pantry and farm stand strive to reduce food and plastic waste! Please bring your own bag if possible. While we try to keep paper bags available for those who need them, we cannot guarantee that they will be available.
