What would you eat? That’s the question we ask when considering food items for our grocery bags. We do not give food we would not eat. We select food from five food groups (fruits, vegetables, proteins, grains, dairy) with a focus on fresh, healthy, and high-quality. That’s how we fill the food gap with nourishment and dignity. #foodpantry #quality #healthy
