Food Pantry Information
The Abiding Presence Food Pantry is open to all families and individuals in need of food assistance. There are no eligibility requirements or prior signup needed to receive food.
We strive to provide meat, eggs, dairy, beans, rice and fresh produce at each pantry. There also may be canned goods, bakery items and children’s lunch box snacks. Types and quantity of food items vary based on availability. There are limits on the number of items a household may receive. The number of people in your household does not determine the amount of food a household will receive.
Please bring your own reusable bags. We have a limited supply of paper bags.
To insure that everyone has a pleasant experience and feels respected we ask you to follow the Abiding Presence Food Pantry Policy.
Food Pantry Policy
Food can only be picked up by adults over the age of 18.
Please be considerate and respectful of others who have been waiting in line.
Everyone must join the line in the order that they arrive at the pantry. At 7:30 am, we will begin giving each household a number for entry into the pantry. You must be in line to receive your number. There are no exceptions to this requirement.
You may not save a place in line for your friends or family.
You may pick up food only for your household. A household is defined as people who live at the same address.
You may only pick up food once per pantry distribution.
