Sharing Space

The food pantry and clothing “store” are available on a walk-in basis on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:30am—Noon.

The pantry serves more than 1,500 individuals per year, receiving referrals from other agencies as well as walk-in requests.  Policies are in place that support the meeting of needs but also promote taking responsibility to effect changes that lead to competency and employments.  ABOUT FACE programs are offered to nurture that transformation.
