Pivot, Inc.

Who Can Visit?

Pivot, Inc. serves young people between the ages of 12 and 24 who are homeless, couch-homeless, disconnected, or otherwise at risk. The youth visitor must be present in person to use the pantry.

How Often You Can Visit?

The pantry is open for drop-in visits Monday through Thursday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Friday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. No appointment is needed.

Food & Essentials

Reviewers mention receiving food at the pantry, and the organization accepts donations of food and health and beauty supplies to help stock it. The pantry also has a clothing closet where visitors can find clothing items.

How to Pick Up

The pantry operates as a drop-in space. Youth within the eligible age range simply show up during open hours and don't need to make an appointment in advance.

Additional Support

Pivot offers a wide range of wraparound services for young people beyond the pantry:
