USDA Food Program
In addition to our Pride Pantry, we also have a USDA Food Program. This program provides monthly pantry support on an ongoing basis. Self-reported income and household size are used to determine eligibility.
Once you qualify, USDA food can be picked up on Thursdays from 10am – 3pm. Those eligible get 1 food pickup per month, while supplies last.
USDA Eligibility
Our USDA food program uses self-reported income and household size to determine eligibility.
