Crisis Assistance
Our Crisis Assistance program provides a ten-pound bag of shelf-stable food on a walk-in basis to those in need of emergency food assistance. It provides immediate relief during the day or two before a family accesses our other programs and resources, such as Farm Wagon, Saturday Helping Hands, and other programs designed to bridge the meal gap.
Packed in each bag, families will find items such as soups, boxed meals, canned fruits and vegetables, and other items to sustain them until they get further assistance. In addition, a cooler is available containing a selection of perishables, such as fruits, vegetables, dairy, and bread. Along with each emergency food bag, a list of local partner food pantries is given to each visitor, as well as information about Community Harvest programs in which they are eligible to take part.
