Hours: Thursdays | 4:00–7:00 PM
Parking lot capacity may be assessed before closing time based on volume and volunteer availability.
As our community continues to grow, so does the need for food assistance. We are grateful for every family we serve and every volunteer who helps make distribution possible.
Because of high demand and volunteer capacity, there may be times when our Thursday distribution parking lot closes before 7:00 PM once we reach service capacity. During summer months especially, heat and increased demand can impact how many families we are able to safely serve in one evening.
To provide consistency, our team will assess parking lot capacity at approximately 6:00 PM each Thursday and make every reasonable effort to remain open as long as it is safe and sustainable to do so.
What to expect:
- Parking lot capacity will be assessed at approximately 6:00 PM
- If capacity is reached, the parking lot will close
- All families already in line and inside the parking lot before closure will be served
- Additional families will not be able to join the line that day
If we are unable to serve you, we encourage you to visit FindHelp.org to search for food pantries and community resources by ZIP code.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to remove barriers so no one goes hungry.
We’re here. We’re committed. And we’ll continue showing up.
