The People's Pantry

Distribution, Education, Assistance

No one can work, learn, or thrive on an empty stomach. Since 2003, Center for People has been helping to keep our community fed. Today our onsite People’s Pantry allows participants collect food once a week in a people-centered environment.

Education programs from our Nutrition Equity Kitchen show people how to plan and prepare healthy, delicious meals and get the most from every food dollar.
