HOW WE WORK

Client Choice

Neighbors Helping Neighbors is a client choice food pantry, allowing people seeking food assistance to choose for themselves what products they receive. We will produce a list of food we have available and prepare individual packages based on a client’s selection.

 


Sign-Up

As a new customer, a client will complete a brief form. We collect basic information such as date of birth.

Drive-In

As a customer arrives, they are greeted by a volunteer. They are then provided with a client choice menu.

Groceries Delivered

Groceries will be gathered in the pantry, and lastly the bag of food is delivered to the customer's car.

Upcoming Events

Please join us for this free shred event.  Monetary and nonperishable  donations for the pantry will be appreciated.

How can I help?

What we most need right now are financial donations. We continue to serve more and more customers, and your donation allows us to buy the food we need when we need it.

If you would like to donate food and/or personal care items, the following are especially needed: soup, hot and cold cereal, canned meat, tomato products, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant and women’s hygiene.
