It was an agonizing decision and one that came out of desperation. I worried profusely about having to go to a pantry for food and not knowing what to expect. When I arrived, everyone was kind. I was overwhelmed. There was more food than I had seen in a very long time. I started the day with a refrigerator full of air and ended the day with more food than I could ever imagine.

What our clients say

"Recently I came to the Pantry for food. It was an agonizing decision and one that

came out of desperation. I worried profusely about having to go to a pantry

for food and not knowing what to expect.

“When I arrived, everyone was kind.

I was overwhelmed. There was more food than I had seen in a very long time.

I started the day with a refrigerator full of air and ended the day with more food than

I could ever imagine.

“I want to thank everyone (vendors, donors, volunteers)

that make the pantry possible."
