Every Day the Food Depository distributes enough food for 60,000 meals. A Food Pantry is an agency that provides groceries to qualified individuals and families.
Meals are prepared at home by the recipients.
A Congregate Feeding Site is an agency that prepares and serves meals on site to those in need. These sites include soup kitchens, shelters, substance abuse treatment and recovery programs, subsidized day care programs and homes for the disabled. To ensure high standards of food safety, a certified food handler must be present to supervise the food service. Our Agency Relations Department regularly monitors all agencies for proper food storage, handling and distribution. We also offer agencies advice, training and technical assistance.
