Who Can Visit?
GraceLife Food Pantry is open to anyone in the community who needs food support. It runs through a TEFAP program, so basic eligibility applies, but you don't need to bring any documents to prove it. Just come by on Monday.
Good to Know
Last year, this pantry served almost 12,000 individuals through its partnership with All Faiths Food Bank. More than 30 volunteers show up each week to make it happen.
How to Pick Up
Every Monday, volunteers arrive at 8:30 AM to receive, sort, and organize donated food before distribution starts. Community distribution runs from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. You can just come by during those hours to receive food.
Additional Support
The pantry also runs a Recovery Pantry every Monday evening at 7:00 PM, right after the GraceLife Recovery meeting, for members of that recovery community.
