Join us as we volunteer at the Community Food Pantry to serve our community for RED Day 2021 to support those in our community who face food insecurity - more than a third are children! We will be volunteering in person on RED Day AND collecting non-perishable food items in the Market Center lobby to donate. Choose your preferred shift and meet us wearing a red tee shirt! Lunch will be served for all attendees from 12 - 1 PM! The Community Food Pantry strives to end the physical and emotional hunger of families in a dignified manner. Our comprehensive approach not only alleviates hunger with nutritional foods, but also provides support services such as health screenings, hygiene bags, and homeless outreach. We serve each client and host each volunteer with grace and dignity and without regard to race, creed, religion, income or perceived need. The Community Food Pantry helped feed over 95,000 of your friends and neighbors in 2020. Each year parents who have trouble making ends meet, seniors on fixed incomes deciding between medicine and groceries, individuals who have lost a job or are underemployed come to our pantry for assistance. Over 24,500 local families visited our pantry to receive groceries, a gracious welcome and emotional support as well as blood pressure screenings and information on social services. We anticipate providing groceries to nearly 100,000 people in 2021, more than a third of whom are children.
