Our Programs
More than half of the Pantry’s groceries are distributed outside the walls and halls of our home at Grace Lutheran Church. Because transportation is not always easy for our neighbors who are at risk of hunger, we bring the food to our neighbors who are at risk of hunger, where they need help the most. And these important services would not be possible without the support of our nonprofit partners.
