The Emergency Food Assistance program provides a holistic approach to helping families experiencing natural disasters; the loss of a home, family member, or employment; a major health setback; and other life changing events. It’s a unique program in that it provides the households seeking assistance with emergency food more frequently and in larger quantities than traditional pantries. The Pantry believes in providing families with enough nutritious food that will help them in their time of need versus using a model that gives enough food for a few days, and then people leave with the fear of running out in a few days. Families can receive 30 days of food for 30 days as well as weekly monthly access to fresh foods.
