The H.O.P.E. Food Pantry provides food relief for those who struggle to put food on the table, including those who are experiencing a financial hardship, cannot afford to buy food on a regular basis, face food insecurity on a regular basis, receive government assistance, and live below the poverty level. Those who are homeless, unemployed, elderly, and have disabilities are also eligible.

 

The H.O.P.E. Food Pantry provides an important safety net for underprivileged and undernourished children by giving them the sustenance they need to stay healthy and thrive.
