How can I find the closest food pantry to me?
We have over 20 church-based food pantries that we have partnered with as part of our Church-Based Food Pantry Program. There are at least 10 for each year of the program. There are maps with the addresses and names of the pantries listed in the resources below. An easy way to find them could be to type in the address of whichever pantry you would like to go to into Apple or Google Maps. To do so, open up Apple or Google Maps on either your smartphone or computer. Then type the address into the search bar in the top left of the screen. A link to google maps is available in the resources.

How can I improve on being healthier?
It is important to stay hydrated. Health experts commonly recommend eight 8-ounce glasses, which equals to about 2 liters, or half a gallon a day. This is called the 8×8 rule. Please refer to the link below to more healthy suggestions.

For our target communities, church plays a large role in their lives. It is the place where people can connect with others and connect with their faith. As such, we have partnered with select churches to open food pantries so our participants will have access to healthy foods, while keeping close to their social connections. This is especially important as our participants live in an area that is known to have food deserts, which are areas that have little access to places to buy affordable healthy food.
Our food pantries provide fresh fruits and vegetables, along with whole grains and hearty breakfast foods.
