Everyone here is very, very kind. I am beyond grateful . They never make you feel less than. They provide to the community with love in their hearts. Sometimes they have to deal with greedy people but they continue to do what they are doing. I am forever thankful for them for helping my family during hard tines. I also want to add they have the most beautiful gardens and they grow everything you can think of! They work super hard on their gardens and they even share their gorgeous flowers they have picked. It always made my day seeing their gardens and what they have freshly picked!♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️ i will say the number system is really bad. They changed it where someone comes out and gives numbers but they don't come out often. And you're expected to know who's in front of who but everyone is in there cars. It gives me great anxiety going to get my number from them and see other pepple also going and then us having to figure out who was next. A lot of people arent honest and take advantage of people that are soft spoken or that won't confront anyone. Or others that have come in after, go and get a volunteer to come out and they try getting a number before the people that are waiting paitently outside. So the person outside has to go quickly and be like actually i was here first. I personally cant do that and not everyone will do that so it's unfair and we get skipped. Ive seen people who got there after someone, get a number before the person that showed up first, many times. It has been this way for maybe a month or more and I was hoping by now they'd have a new system. It's basically first come first serve which is fine but people can get greedy. I am not sure anything to suggest to help this. Maybe appointments with time slots? I don't know but I really hope this isn't the permanent system.

This pantry is a lifesaver.Having been laid off in Feb 2023, it has been a challenging experience, and this food pantry has greatly eased our anxieties and fears.I had never been to a pantry before, so I don't know if the process is similar to others, but what they have going on here is a mix of formality and yet an air of dignity and respect.Here's the general process:- Grab a ticket at the sign and wait for your number to be called- If it's your first visit, you'll have some paperwork to fill out, and it's not too long, but it makes sense, as they want to confirm your needs and track access- Based on the number of people in your household, you're allowed to select a certain number of fresh and frozen proteins, packaged and canned goods, and breads/carbs.- There is also a section of "grab-what-you-need" at the front, which still has limits, but they don't count against your total number of goods- At the end, they load your items in a cart for you to load in your carEveryone here is friendly and accommodating. I have accidentally over loaded on some of the categories of food and they have kindly allowed me to switch or select what I'd like to keep.I'm still unemployed, but this pantry has made our difficult season a lot less stressful.If you need help, please don't feel prideful or ashamed... go to the pantry!
