Good friendly people here that help with clothes and food. Last two times I was there I had the kindest funniest guy helping me, he really brightened up my day. 😁😉 God bless you all for your help! Girl with the Jesus Mobil.

Awful staff. Should probably be removed for treating people the way they do. Zero stars would be better.

With IDs for each member of your family, you may get a meal package every 7 days. Without an ID, you may get 1 food item every 7 days. There are daily items, too. You can get bread, sweets, Meals From the Heartland, and any extra food recovery / surplus items that we receive. This is often produce. Let me know if you have more questions.
