Have you visited our Café in Milford lately? ☕🥪

If not, you’re in for a treat! Our new menu features eight specialty sandwiches—our Fan Favorites—created and named to recognize some of the favorites requested by our regular customers.

Today, meet the face behind The Phil Wrap, named in honor of Phil Williamson, a longtime—and hard-working—volunteer in our Healthy Pantry Center and Volunteer Room.

The Phil Wrap is a fresh, custom-made veggie wrap, and its story is a great example of how our menu continues to evolve. Phil and his wife became vegan about two years ago. Since Phil spends two days a week with us, he asked Café Manager JR Duffy and Café Assistant Bryan Anton if they could create a veggie wrap for him. Chef JR took it from there—including one important question: Did Phil want hummus? The answer was yes!

“Many people think vegetables are boring, but they don’t have to be,” Phil explains. “Each has a distinct flavor, and you can choose exactly which ones you want on your wrap. Add pickles or peppers for extra flavor. Hummus brings another layer of flavor and texture while providing a good source of protein.”

Phil orders The Phil Wrap at least once a week—and says he’s never been disappointed.

“J.R. and Bryan do a great job making it.”

Come visit us and try one of our Fan Favorites! Each sandwich is served with chips for just $10, and proceeds support students enrolled in our culinary training programs.

A broken ankle, a career setback, and an uncertain future could have stopped Octavia Dolson in her tracks. Instead, she chose a new path.

After completing our Culinary School program, Octavia graduated with more than a certificate. She was also named this year's recipient of the Pletcher Scholarship Award, recognizing her leadership, integrity, and commitment to serving others.

Today, she's beginning a new full-time job and looking ahead to a bright future.

Congratulations, Octavia! And thank you to Nina Pletcher for creating opportunities for Culinary School students through her generous scholarship support.

We’re so proud of all our graduates and can’t wait to see where their next chapter takes them! ❤️

Thank you to U.S. Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester and her team for visiting our Milford garden today! 🌱

We were excited to show firsthand the impact of congressionally directed funding she helped secure for the Food Bank. With this support, we purchased new equipment that is helping us expand our garden operations and grow even more fresh, nutritious produce for neighbors across Delaware.

We’re grateful for Senator Blunt Rochester’s continued support of our mission!
