Every location is different! Some places in Charlene accept appointments, some require it, and others allow walk-ins. Please review all details on the resource page to understand how you should prepare for your visit.
Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.
Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries in Charlene do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.
