The food pantry is usually held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month. Due to the weather, they were supposed to be open today, but they are closely monitoring conditions since it is very cold. There is a possibility they will open on Monday, 02/09/26 instead.

At this time, the distribution schedule may vary. They send out text messages to neighborhood residents whenever food is available for distribution.

• The food pantry is next door to the church
• The Friday schedule is dependant on the truck deliveries which might not be made and therefore means the pantry is closed. -Summer Meal Program/ Coordinator: Gerri Craig 2014907795 Start: 06/30/2025 End: 08/22/2025
