The Food Bank collects and stores food ready to give out to clients in crisis. We work with partner agencies who refer their clients to us. Following a referral from a partner agency we will provide enough food for three days for up to three visits per crisis. If the crisis continues, we will extend our support after talking with the referral agency. The food bank is open to all who find themselves in a crisis situation and unable to feed either themselves or their families.
