HOW TO HELP
CURRENT NEEDS LIST
Our food pantry is used by 10-25 people each week. We always need and accept donations of shelf-stable food and hygiene products. Many LGBTQ+ people don't feel comfortable going to traditional food banks, so our pantry is available for them to safely and comfortably get what they need. Your contributions will help LGBTQ+ people most in need right now.
