Weather Update & Food Distribution Hours
We are keeping a close eye on current weather conditions and the snowstorm expected to arrive on Thursday, which may also affect Friday’s operations. At this time, we plan to be open during our normal distribution hours. However, if conditions become unsafe, we may open late, close early, or close for the day to ensure the safety of our clients, volunteers, and staff. Please only come out if it is safe for you to travel. If there are any changes to our hours, we will share updates as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding, and please stay warm and safe during the storm.

Food Closet Voucher Program
With a Food Closet voucher, you’ll have access to a wide selection of food items each week. Additionally, you may receive hygiene products, household essentials, holiday assistance, and pet food when available. We have fully transitioned into a client choice food pantry. This means that instead of receiving a pre-packed food box, you will now be able to walk through the pantry and select the foods that best meet your household’s needs—similar to shopping at a grocery store. Our goal is to serve you with greater dignity, flexibility, and choice.
