We are very fortunate that there are many resources for food in our community. However, please stay aware in case you find out someone you know or encounter would benefit from even one basket of free food & personal care items. We are a low-barrier pantry-we don't look at IDs or ask about income. ANYONE can come to us for food for a one-time or longer-term boost to enable them to save $$$ for rent, utilities, or other expenses. www.metrocatholicoutreach.org For more information, please click here.
