The Food Pantry at Heart, Love & Soul increases the available supply of fresh and nutritious food for low-income and food insecure families in need. Guests are invited to choose from a wide variety of balanced food items to suit their personal tastes and dietary needs, including meat, grains, fresh or canned fruits and vegetables, dairy, eggs, spices, and more.
Allowing guests to make their own selections from our inventory ensures that food will be used – we make sure to stock options that are both nutritious and consistent with popular preference.
How does it work?
Assisted by our volunteers, guests can “shop” in the Food Pantry once a month and fill their carts with enough free groceries for 12 meals.
Guests also get a chance to browse our ‘extra shelf,’ which includes items purchased with donations or given by individuals, churches, and community groups. This shelf contains non-essential, but in-demand food items such as snacks, drink mixes, cooking and baking ingredients, and easy meals (ramen noodles, etc.).

Schedule
The Food Pantry and Necessary Shop run together Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 1:00pm. If a guest cannot make that timeframe, we will try to accommodate their availability as much as possible.
We strongly recommend making an appointment to visit the pantry but will take walk-ins if possible. However, guests who arrive with an appointment will be served before others.
