Tuesday pantry, the produce table
Neighborhood pantry
Choose your own groceries every Tuesday at nine. Fresh produce, dairy and pantry staples, and no forms on your first visit.
The after-school table, weekdays from 3:30
Youth mentoring
One steady adult, six years running. Homework help and a hot snack on weekdays from 3:30.
Keys kept on the block
Help staying home
Rent support and a caseworker who calls back, so long-time families can stay on the block.
One family, one full year
Family sponsorship
Walk with one family for a full year: groceries, school supplies and a friend who checks in.
One garden. Many hands.
Volunteers tend the raised beds, gather the harvest, and bring fresh produce to the pantry table. Come for an hour. We will help you find a useful place to begin.
