Shopping with us

Three steps. That's all.

Many people who come here have never used a pantry. They think they will not qualify. Most of them do.

Shop

You pick your own food. Come back every week.

You never have to explain anything. We will treat you like a neighbor, because you are one.

How it works

You pick your food. Not a box someone packed for you.

You walk the aisles with a cart. You read the labels. You take what your family will eat.
