Audrey's Outreach serves residents of Cuyahoga County and is the only food pantry in Brook Park. Not every zip code in the county is eligible, though. The following zip codes are not served: 44103, 44104, 44105, 44106, 44108, 44115, 44117, 44119, 44120, 44121, 44123, 44124, 44125, 44131, 44132, 44137, 44141, 44143, and 44147.
You'll need to bring a valid driver's license and proof of your current address. These are required at every visit since the pantry is part of the Greater Cleveland Food Bank network.
The line can get quite long, so arriving early is a smart move. Visitors consistently say the wait is well worth it, and this pantry is known for giving out a generous amount of food.
Visitors typically receive a wide variety of food including fresh fruits and vegetables, breads and baked goods, pasta sauces, soups, and a good amount of meat. Shelf-stable items often include canned vegetables, canned fruits, mac and cheese, beans, pancake mix, and noodles. Eggs and frozen items are also part of most visits. Personal care products like toilet paper, body wash, chapstick, and hand soap are handed out as well. Families with young children can receive diapers and baby formula. Pet food is sometimes available for those with animals at home. Clothing is given out through the drive-through when the weather allows and enough volunteers are on hand.
Audrey's Outreach is a drive-through pantry. You stay in your car the whole time and food is brought out to your vehicle.
The pantry offers community meals and a summer meal program for children and seniors. God's Green Acres, the on-site community garden, grows fresh produce that's shared with the community when it's available.
Food donations, monetary donations, and gently used clothing and linens are all welcome. The best times to drop off are Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and Thursdays from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Please don't leave items outside the doors or under the pavilion. If those drop-off times don't work for you, call 216-433-1515 to make other arrangements. You can also reach the team at audreysoutreach@yahoo.com.
To volunteer, call 216-433-1515 or email audreysoutreach@yahoo.com. You can also drop in during any pantry event and ask for Alice, Margi, Sue, Terry, or Annette.
