our community appreciates your donations

When we say, "give what you can and take what you need," we recognize that not everyone has the same resources. Some people can give more, while others might need a bit more support. We ask that you take only what you need so that everyone can benefit. By leaving some for others, we make sure the pantry can continue to provide a bit for everyone.

By adding to the Farm Stand, you're not just giving food—you're helping create a community that cares for each other.
