It is vital to our organization that all guests feel welcome; we have no identification, income, or geographic requirements. The Pantry has two distribution days every month - the 2nd and 4th Saturday, from 10 a.m. Fresh ingredients are provided to fulfill the recipes we give to our guests, so they can cook a meal meal at home. This helps our guests to become more confident in their cooking abilit
ies and gain valuable meal preparation skills, in the process. Our pantry has unique donation needs, as we provide specific recipes for dinner entrees. Our menu remains constant, therefore we require the same ingredients each month. Our Wish List
