UPDATE: Food Pantry Pause (Closed on 11/2)

We regret to inform you that the Food Pantry will not be open tomorrow due to supply chain issues, and is now on a “pause” until further notice. We are having to transition the walk-in fridge to a freezer so that our hot lunch program can order more items in advance due to supply chain problems. 

This puts a pause on the Food Pantry until we can obtain a large-enough refrigerator for Pantry use. Please know that it is fully our intent to re-open the Pantry once we have the proper refrigeration. Thanks for your patience!
