What to expect
What makes our Food Pantry different?
Where DASH began
Meals, not just groceries
Each visit includes about a week’s worth of food: meal kits with a recipe, spices, and every ingredient needed for a complete meal (typically dinner kits, lunch kits, and a side kit), plus pantry staples families choose themselves, like vegetables, fruit, breakfast items, milk, eggs, and bread.

Planning meals on a tight budget can be stressful. Our meal kits take the guesswork out, so families can go home and put a meal on the table.
That idea became DASH: Delicious. Affordable. Simple. Health. It started here in our Food Pantry, and today it guides the food in all of our programs, from Weekend Power Pack to senior deliveries.
Extra programs for families
Along with regular Food Pantry visits, these programs bring families a little extra.
Kids in the Kitchen
Kid-friendly meal kits with simple recipes families can cook together, given in addition to regular Food Pantry food. Sign up at your next visit.

Kids in the Kitchen brings our DASH approach to the youngest cooks in the family. The recipes are simple enough for children and their caregivers to prepare and enjoy together. Families with children who visit the Food Pantry can sign up and receive these kits along with their regular Food Pantry food each visit. It means a little extra food for growing kids, and a fun way for families to cook together.
Christmas Baskets
For families who visit the Food Pantry: a drive-thru holiday distribution on the Saturday before Christmas, with meal kits for Christmas Day and recipes for leftovers. Sign up during a Food Pantry visit, starting in October or November.

Christmas Baskets are available to families who currently visit the Food Pantry. You can sign up during any Food Pantry visit once sign-ups open in October or November. Each year on the Saturday before Christmas, families drive through our holiday distribution to pick up a basket with everything they need for a festive holiday meal. Each basket includes:
- Meal kits for Christmas Day, typically a main dish, a side, a dessert, and breakfast
- A holiday recipe booklet
- Recipes and ingredients for turning leftovers into new meals

Healthy Food, Not Just Calories
We believe a visit to the Food Pantry should help answer a simple question: What’s for dinner?
Our shelves include vegetables and fruit, lean meats, whole grains, and low-sugar, low-sodium choices whenever possible.

When money is tight, the most affordable foods are often the least nutritious, and over time that can affect health, including heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Children and seniors, who make up many of the neighbors we serve, are especially affected.
That’s why we think about more than filling a bag. We choose foods that support good health, so the meals families make at home are ones they can feel good about.
