December Holiday Food will be given to families that are part of the pantry and who are participants of receiving food here. A one time extra meal for the holiday is given either Dec. 14th, 18th, or 19th along with the regular weekly food during our open hours. If you are not a food pantry family participant, you can register by emailing the pantry to make an appointment. If you are a food pantry family already at our new location, no registration is needed for the holiday food. If it has been awhile since you have come to the food pantry, you will need to register again. Email if you have any questions.
