Dr. Alap A. Butala Food Pantry Program
Food Pantry Is Open
Our Food Box program has changed to a client-choice pantry program where families get to pick their own food; up to 15 meals per person in the household. Families receive a balanced package of fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins. Not only do we provide the food, but also counseling, advocacy and referrals to help with other critical needs.
We strongly believe it is important to keep the family together in their homes and not have parents bring their children to the Mission for meals. If we can provide the food, along with additional services, we can keep people living in a safe, healthy environment, thus avoiding homelessness. A common theme of people coming to us for food boxes, some for the first time ever, has been the rising cost of living — too much month at the end of the money.
Food boxes distributed to underprivileged families.
