Donating Food
We appreciate food donations as they are a wonderful way to contribute to the community and provide us with a greater variety of items than we can source through our area Food Bank. We especially enjoy when local farmers or families grow an extra row of produce so that we can share fresh, healthy items with shoppers!
​
Non-perishable items, empty boxes, or grocery bags may be left in our donation bin on the right side of the building at any time. If you would like to donate perishable items such as produce or eggs, or you would like a receipt, please ring the doorbell during our office hours below. If possible, we recommend avoiding our busiest times during distribution since the parking lot can be crowded (Mondays/Wednesdays/Thursdays from 2-3:30pm and Saturdays from 9:30-11am).
​
Office Hours:
-
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays 9am-4:30pm
-
Tuesdays 9am-2pm
-
Saturdays 9am-12pm
