Healthy Families works to eliminate hunger & address nutrition-related issues that impact a household's budget, children's performance in school & the overall physical health of families. Through services within Healthy Families, households learn a variety of tools that help them implement changes to food budgeting & preparation and lead families on a road to healthier living. Providing families the opportunity to secure groceries weekly through the food pantry eliminates impossible choices that food insecure households throughout the U.S. are forced to make; choosing between food & safe housing; food and health care; or food & child care.”
Registered clients can visit the food pantry once a week to collect their perishable & non-perishable groceries.
