Choice Food Pantry

A choice food pantry is one in which the clients are able to pick what foods are needed for their household. The value is in the raising of the self esteem of the family by giving control over what is served in their home and a saving for the pantry because food which is not needed or wanted is not given. Our choice food pantry is open Monday through Friday from 9:a.m. to 3:p.m. and Thursday evening from 6:p.m. to 8:p.m. The location of the Pantry is in the Alley off of Market Street between McConkeys Auto Parts and the Museum. A ramp is in the back.

Households may get food every seven days, if necessary. A three day supply of food is given.

We get food for distribution from:

  • Churches
  • Food drives
  • Organizations and Businesses and...
  • YOU!
