Food Pantry Services
Clients may come weekly and select what they need for their size family, at no cost to them. Due to the pandemic, clients are not able to select food, instead they receive pre-packed boxes of food until we are able to resume in-person shopping.
We are located at 125 Mt. Hope St.
