In The Pantry
Pasta, Toiletries & Gluten-free Food

The pantry could use a wide variety of supplies this week including toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, etc.
Gluten-free foods are always in short supply and welcomed year round. Currently, we only have spaghetti on the shelves and could also use more varieties of pasta.
Please bring your donations to the temporary pantry, directly across the street from MLK.

We welcome donations Monday – Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
For speediest drop-offs, Tuesdays and Thursdays are best.
