Neighbors' Place Food Pantry

More than 250 families visit our food pantry every week. We stock non-perishable items, such as canned and boxed foods, and staples like flour and sugar. We are the local distribution point for government surplus foods. Depending on the season, we sometimes have venison available.

Food pantry hours are:

  • 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday, Tuesday and Friday
  • 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Wednesday
  • 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Thursday

Families are eligible to visit the food pantry once every three weeks.

The Neighbors' Place depends heavily on the generosity of area organizations and businesses which conduct food drives on our behalf. How to organize a food drive at your business or organization.
