If you are in need of more assistance there are several programs within our community that can help. The link below will take you to a calendar of our community’s assistance programs. In addition to local food pantries, the calendar also has information on places that offer hot meals and clothing.

The calendar is a generic schedule and is not ‘month specific’. Rather, it breaks down the programs into ‘weeks of the month’. For example, in week 2 on Sunday, Wesley United Methodist Church serves a meal. That means that the meal listed there is served on the 2nd Sunday of every month. Likewise, our St. Mary’s Choice Food Pantry is listed on the 4th week Monday so the 4th Monday of the month is when we are open.

Please keep in mind that many of the programs on the calendar are not offered on Federal Holidays or Holy Days and that the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons may cause cancellations and date changes. Please use our calendar as a guide but remember to call ahead to make sure that the programs listed are available.
