Food is distributed monthly at each of our sites. Most distributions occur on the third Thursday of the month. To offer alternatives to our residents, several locations distribute food on alternate days including the second Saturday, third Friday, and last Wednesday of the month. Food at each location is available while quantities last. Visit the find food section for distribution locations and times.
