Food
Pantry
At our Choice Food Pantry, we're dedicated to alleviating hunger in our community.
​
Our Food Pantry is open Monday through Thursday from 10 AM to 12 PM and 1 PM to 3 PM.
Clients can visit once a month, ensuring consistent support.
In partnership with the pantry, our Backpacks for Kids program fights food insecurity for school-aged children over the weekends, providing nutritious meals discreetly. We believe in a stronger, hunger-free community.
Join us in this mission through volunteering or donations and make a meaningful difference in our neighborhood. Together, we can make sure no one goes to bed hungry.
