2. Participate in Free Food Friday

Each Friday (or another day each week if the Center is closed on Friday), from 8-10 am come to the Center and ‘shop’ the food donations we’ve received from our God’s Pantry partners listed below.  Based on what the Center has received from our partners during the week, the staff and volunteers will tell you how much/what kinds of food you may select.
