Food Distributions

On the third Thursday of each month, we host a food distribution event at the David Nelson Pocket Park, welcoming anyone in need of additional food resources. Our distribution accommodates both drive-thru and walk-up styles to ensure accessibility for all, including those without transportation. The primary aim is to offer supplemental food to families and individuals facing the risk of food insecurity. To achieve this, we rely on a dedicated team of volunteers from the community to support and facilitate our efforts.
