Our one goal is to serve our neighbors in need.

Our shoppers’ needs are very real and whatever way we can help, we will. Food assistance - fresh fruits and vegetables, and a variety of shelf-stable goods to anyone in need is our primary mission. We strive to make a personal connection with each shopper, letting them know that they are cared for and that they are important to us.
