Walk-In Food Pantry:
Every other Friday, families can come inside and choose the food they need. We make access easier by offering foodbox delivery to homes to disabled.
The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP): This federal program helps supplement the diets of people with low income by providing them with emergency food assistance at no cost. USDA provides 100% American-grown USDA Foods and administrative funds to states to operate TEFAP. This food is available on Fridays at our Operations Center. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender. Here is the link to the full non-discrimination statement: https://www.usda.gov/non-discrimination-statement
