Frozen Meat:
Many people ask if we take frozen meat from locally butchered animals and wild game.
We do take those items but they must be processed at a licensed processing facility and have the proper licensing stamps on the packaged item.
This is per Health Department regulations.
Fresh Produce:
We do take fresh items from local gardens. Please deliver them to the Pantry on the days the Pantry is open (2nd and 4th Thursdays of each month) so they can be distributed out as fresh as possible.
The Pantry will be open to accept donations at 4:30pm on service days.
