Once registered, each household can visit twice per month.

Good to Know

While you wait, the pantry offers sweet treats, coffee, and ice water. Visitors often leave with enough food for one to two weeks. One first-time visitor shared that registering and picking up food took about 45 minutes from start to finish.

Food & Essentials

The pantry distributes a variety of food including fresh vegetables and fruit, meat, and shelf-stable groceries. Food comes from partners like Shop n Save, Aldi, Sam's Club, and Panera, with fresh baked goods donated by Oakmont Bakery. The pantry gives out more than 1,000,000 pounds of food each year.

How to Pick Up

Distribution is drive-up style. When you arrive on Wednesday evening, volunteers wheel carts of food directly out to your vehicle and load it for you.
