With access to our pantry, you can order groceries each week through our online "client choice" platform, allowing you to select foods that best meet your family's dietary needs. When you arrive to pick up your order, you'll also have the opportunity to browse our onsite "quick pick" area, which offers a variety of breads, sweets, and other items not available through the online system.
Our weekly client-choice pantry is available to you for ongoing support. Each week, you can place a food order using your assigned points, based on your household size, to select the items you need.
Our pantry uses SmartChoice Food Pantry Software to power our online shopping.
