We provide USDA nutritional food items (fresh fruits and vegetables, dry goods, canned good and frozen food) to low-income eligible households and the public. Some of our offerings change depending on season and availability - we sometimes carry personal care and hygiene products or even pet food when it's available. Call ahead if you have questions about what we currently have on hand.
