Available Hours
All distributions will be at our Main Ave location until further notice. We are utilizing a drive-thru distribution to limit contact and implement social distancing.

Drive-Thru Distribution
We have changed over to a drive-thru distribution model due to Covid and will continue with this model into the future. You stay in your car the entire time. We have volunteers that will take your ID to the computer and then load your groceries for you.

If you are 60 or older, we have an additional food program just for you. You may be eligible for the CSFP – Food for Seniors program. Eligible clients may pick up this extra food box one time per month. Please ask us about enrollment when you are at the food bank.
