Restocking Food Pantry After Holiday Rush

After the holiday rush, our food donations have declined, and we need your support to replenish our pantry.

Drop-offs are welcome weekday mornings from 9am-12pm. For more information, contact LaDrea Clark. Help CSA ensure that no one in the community goes hungry. 

Most needed items are:

• Pop-top cans of prepared soups or bone broth

• Pop-top cans of protein such as tuna, chicken and salmon
• Low sodium/no salt canned vegetables and canned fruits in juice
