Our Services
Heart of the Bay Food Pantry offers a variety of services to support our community
Our food pantry provides nutritionally balanced food options including dairy, meats, fruits, and vegetables to individuals and families in need.
Hours of Operation
Wednesday: 10am-2pm
Friday: noon-6pm
Eligibility
While the primary focus of the Pantry is serving seniors, anyone in need is welcome. There are no residency requirements.
Not only is this a food pantry but also provides a meal once a week for the community at the Senior Center.
Our community meals offer a chance for people to come together, share a nutritious meal, and build connections with others in the community.
