How we help cure hunger
Food and Personal Items Pantry
The Salvation Army Emergency Food Pantry is a practical way to address the basic needs of families and individuals turning to us for help. We currently provide emergency food and personal items.
Households in need may acquire food once every 90 days. The amount of food each household receives is based on the number of individuals in the home. Walk-ins are welcome.
We always accept all types of non-perishable food items and personal items. Please be sure to check the expiration dates on all food prior to delivery, as we do not give out expired food. We also need paper grocery bags.
Below, you can find a complete list of personal and food items that are needed in the pantry every day:
