Basic Needs Assistance
Food Pantry
Our food pantry provides a 3-day supply of groceries once per month.
While shopping, you will choose groceries that your family likes. We often have fresh produce, Panera Bread, frozen meat, and frozen entrees and sides from local restaurants and the schools in addition to canned and boxed foods.
Cleaning and Hygiene
Twice per year you can receive 5 full-sized cleaning & hygiene items for your family. These are items that are used to clean you or your living space. Typical items available for request include:
- laundry detergent
- all-purpose cleaner
- trash bags
- shampoo/conditioner
- toothpaste
- soap
- dish detergent
- paper towels
Clothing Vouchers
We partner with the Opportunity House, located just down the street, to provide vouchers for families for clothing, shoes, & small housewares.
Every 3 months, families can receive a voucher in the form of store credit. You will be able to use that credit towards clothing and household goods at Opportunity House anytime within 90 days.
