Who Can Visit?
Anyone in need of food is welcome at the Carpenters Table Food Pantry. No appointment is needed. Just walk in during open hours.
How Often You Can Visit?
You can visit the food pantry as often as once every two weeks.
Good to Know
Visitors describe the pantry as well organized, clean, and stocked with a wide variety of items. One reviewer noted receiving some expired items on a visit, so it's a good idea to check expiration dates before you leave.
Food & Essentials
The pantry carries a variety of food items including bread, canned goods, and other grocery staples. Along with food, people in need can pick up 5 free items of clothing each month from the on-site clothing selection.
How to Pick Up
Walk in during regular business hours to pick up food. No appointment or pre-registration is needed.
Facilities
The center has an on-site thrift store with furniture, clothes, household goods, and toys available at very low prices. People in need can also receive 5 free items of clothing each month.
Ways to Give
Food and monetary donations are accepted during regular business hours at 375 North 14th Street. You can also give online through PayPal or support the center through their eBay charity store, where a portion of your purchase goes to the organization. A separate Donation Center at 201 North 6th Street accepts clothing, shoes, books, furniture, household items, and toys on select Thursdays and Saturdays each month. Follow them on Facebook to keep up with their monthly needs.
How to Join the Team?
Volunteers help with sorting donations, distributing pantry food, organizing inventory, and customer service. The center is especially in need of Saturday help and welcomes volunteers of all ages and skills. All volunteers are screened for safety. Fill out the volunteer application to get started.
