We're looking forward to our next mobile food pantry event on Wednesday, April 2! These monthly events are only made possible through our partnership with Harvesters—The Community Food Network and the hard work of staff and volunteers. We're proud to say that we served 1,734 families in 2024. Not only was food given out, but many times, participants received helpful information, like nutritious recipes and local resources. The goal of our food pantry is to help families in the area live healthier lives by providing free and easy-to-access produce. We hope that, especially in this time of high costs that puts extra pressure on wallets, these items make it a little easier for families to make nutritious meals and snacks. clayhealth.com/pantry
