Leadership Statement:
The pantry's emphasis is twofold. We offer food for the hungry, with a focus on nutritionally sound options, including meat, milk, eggs, cheese and fresh produce. Our second focus is offering resources to empower persons to improve their quality of life. We want to help persons in their struggle to lift themselves out of the cycle of poverty.
