Hearts and Hands Food Pantry is a full choice food pantry that offers fresh and nonperishablel groceries, personal care items and pet foods BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Appointments can be made from our website https://www.heartsandhandsfoodpantry.com/get-help. We do not require referrals but welcome them. We offer two services, PICKUP and DELIVERY. PICKUP has less regulations than DELIVERY which is more stringent.

For DELIVERY, client must meet 2 of our eligibility requirements and submit a photo ID and a verification document for their eligibility (for example: Disability benefits cover letter, doctor's note, etc). This information can be found in detail on our service pages through our website.
