With heavy hearts, and after much thought and careful consideration, we share the difficult news that our Board of Directors has made the decision to permanently close the food pantry.

Our final day of service will be Friday, October 2, 2026.

This has not been an easy decision. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported our pantry, volunteered their time, donated, and trusted us to be a part of their lives. It has been an honor to serve our community and to walk alongside so many neighbors over the years.

While we may be closing our doors, we know the need for food assistance continues. If you or someone you know is in need of support, please dial 211. They can help connect you with food pantries and other resources in your area that are currently available.

Thank you for allowing us to serve you. ❤️
