Who we are
A pantry run by the people it serves
We started with one shelf in a church basement after a winter when too many of our neighbors were choosing between rent and groceries. Today we're open four days a week, and most of our volunteers once came to us for help themselves.
We keep it simple: good food, no forms, no judgment.
- Fresh produce from local farms every week
- Halal, vegetarian and baby supplies on hand
- Spanish and Vietnamese speakers at every shift
Give
Fill a shelf this week
We buy food at wholesale prices, so your gift goes further here than at the store. Give once, or become a monthly neighbor and keep the shelves steady all year.

Stories
From our neighbors
When I lost my job, they never made me feel ashamed. Now I volunteer every Saturday.
The delivery team checks on me every week. Some weeks they're the only people I talk to.
We give monthly because we can see exactly where it goes: right down the street.
FAQ
Questions
Do I need to prove I qualify?
No. If you need food, come in. We only ask for your ZIP code so we can report how many neighbors we serve.
Can I donate food instead of money?
Yes, during pantry hours. We most need canned protein, rice, cooking oil and diapers.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. We're a registered 501(c)(3), and you'll get a receipt by email.
How do I volunteer?
Come to any Saturday shift at 8:45 AM. No sign-up needed for your first time.
Got two hours on a Saturday?
Sort produce, pack delivery boxes or greet shoppers. Bring a friend.
