Free food, no cost to you

Pick the help that fits this week.

Every program is free. Start with an emergency box if the cupboard is empty today, or come to the weekly grocery pickup if you can plan a day ahead.

  • Emergency 3-day food box Free

    A box of three days of shelf-stable meals and staples, packed for your household size. Bring a photo ID and we will hand it to you the same day you call.

  • Weekly grocery pickup Free

    Choose from bread, dairy, canned goods, pasta, rice and household basics. Pickup days are listed when you call or text, and we bag everything before you arrive.

  • Fresh produce bundle Free

    Seasonal vegetables and fruit when our partners have a delivery. Ask what came in this week — it changes often and it is always free.

  • Senior monthly delivery Free

    For older neighbors who cannot easily get to the pantry, we bring a monthly box to your door inside our service area. Call to get on the route.

  • Weekend backpack program Free

    Kid-friendly food for the weekend, packed in a bag students can carry home. Parents and school staff can call to sign a child up.

How it works

Three steps, and the first one is a phone call.

  1. 01

    Call or text us

    Tell us how many people are in your household and when you can come by. If today is hard, say so — we will find a way.

  2. 02

    We pack your food

    We build the box around your family size and what is on hand, and we set it aside with your name on it so it is ready when you arrive.

  3. 03

    Pick up or get a delivery

    Bring a photo ID, pull up to the spot we tell you, and we load the box. If you cannot come to us, ask about the senior delivery route.

What to bring

One photo ID is all we ask for. There is no income form and no fee, ever.

Same-day help

Call or text, and we will start packing.

One number reaches the pantry. Tell us what your week looks like and we will match you to the right program — emergency box, weekly pickup, produce, senior delivery or a weekend backpack.
