For those who are unable to travel to a food pantry, due to mobility or medical issues, we offer Sharing Table — a food pantry delivery service — in partnership with the HOPE Center, Wesley Foundation, and United Way.

If you or someone you know is unable to travel to a food pantry, give us a call or send us an email and we would be happy to help. Orders must be placed by Friday to receive a delivery Wednesday night. Limited spots available each week.
