Our “shopping style” food pantry was added to the meals program in September 2011 in response to our friends in the neighborhood who reported running out of food stamps and not having enough to eat in nearby subsidized housing.
Each month, as many as 350 households receive enough groceries to prepare more than 6,000 meals on their own. Reflecting our focus on community-building, over half of our pantry volunteers are also pantry “shoppers” who manage “their” section of the groceries each month.
Our Neighborhood Pantry is open to everyone in need of food, on 4th Thursdays of the month, from 11am-12pm.
