Our Client Choice Food Pantry allows the clients to walk through our food pantry with a volunteer to pick out food they need and like. This cuts down on food waste and empowers the clients on what they receive, especially if there are dietary restrictions. Although most of our food is donated through food drives, individuals and churches, we still purchase many items to help feed those in need.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments

It is easy to see that we do far more than just provide food. Our challenge comes from finding the funds needed to carry out these much needed programs. We try our very best to be good stewards of the funds we are given to help improve the lives of those in our county. Our goal is to find the need, evaluate the need, meet the need and move to the next one. With the help of funding, we can do this one family at a time.
