While the families served by our Food Pantry change over time, the need for our services remains constant. According to the USDA, people living in food-insecure households are uncertain of having, or unable to acquire, at some time during the year, enough food to meet the needs of all their members because they had insufficient money or other resources for food that promotes active, healthy lives.

The Food Pantry is an outlet for The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), a federal program that provides free emergency food assistance to low-income people. The program has guidelines for organizations that receive food and for people who receive it. Total gross income for the household must not exceed 185% of the federal poverty levels provided on the current year TEFAP Self-Declaration of Need form.

Seniors may qualify for the Senior Food Box Program, which works to supplement the diets and improve the health of low-come seniors with nutritious USDA foods.

Anyone in need of food for any reason can contact us for help. We are happy to assist with immediate needs and, if appropriate, help enroll them in TEFAP or find other community resources.
