We rely greatly on partnerships and cash donations to allow us to fill gaps in essential items on our shelves and to purchase fresh produce and meats to distribute from our freezers and refrigerators. 

Produce Safe Handling Instructions:

• Wash hands with soap and water before and after handling raw fruits & veggies
• Gently rub fruits & veggies under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking
• Scrub firm fruits & veggies with a clean produce brush under running water
• Fruits & veggies labeled "prewashed" don't need to be washed again at home
• Cut away damaged or bruised areas on fruits & veggies before eating or prepping
• Refrigerate cut, peeled, or cooked fruits & veggies promptly (within two hours or one hour if it's above 90 °F)
