Community Food Program
Not everybody in our community in need of food assistance can make it to the pantry when we are open. The Community Food Program helps to get food to families and individuals in different ways. In close collaboration with community partners, we are testing additional ways to distribute food.
Accommodations for Older Adults
Transportation is often a barrier for older adults in need of food assistance. We are working with councils on aging and other agencies who serve older adults, to offer dedicated times during or just after regular distribution hours. They provide the transportation, and we provide the healthy food.
Agency Pick-ups
Staff or volunteers from social service agencies can pick up groceries for families or individuals who use their services. Families can choose the foods they want by completing a form indicating their preferences.
Developing Initiatives
Our Community Food Program Coordinator is working with community partners, including those facing food access barriers, to develop and test out different food distribution methods.
If your organization would like to participate in agency pick-ups, provide transportation for families or individuals or join us to collaboratively get food to as many of our neighbors who need it as possible, get in touch with us.
