Mobile Pantry

Mobile Pantry delivers food to areas that do not have agencies to serve them. Volunteers prepare and pack food boxes according to our guidelines. The foods included in the boxes are meant to be a supplement for the recipient and usually include items that can be used to make several meals. In addition to these, frozen foods, meats and fresh produce may also be distributed. These food boxes are then delivered to rural residents on a designated schedule. More than 8,000 food boxes are distributed to approximately 43 sites each month.

Senior Meals program serves the elderly and home boun seniors and is sponsored by many churches and non-profit organizations. Approximately 100 hot, nutritious meals are prepared in our kitchen daily and delivered to these organizations to distribute to people who have registered for this program.

A message from Frank Sheppard, President and CEO:

The COVID-19 public health emergency has triggered many requests from individuals and groups offering volunteer help and we are very grateful.

Because of safety precautions for everyone: our volunteers, partner agencies and staff, we have made the decision to limit volunteers in our warehouse until further notice.

We appreciate the passion, sense of urgency and desire to help others in our community, but feel that the safety of everyone is of utmost importance. We will assess the situation regularly and if we feel that there are no concerns about safety, we let the community know.

If you would like to help us in another way, please make a monetary donation through our website. Every dollar counts and will enable us to provide food for more families in our community. A $10 donation can provide 60 meals for a family in need.

We appreciate all of our volunteers and look forward to having you join us again in the future.

Please be safe.

Sincerely,

Frank Sheppard
