Food distribution

Mi Casita Pantry is a free resource available to families and individuals facing food insecurity.

Our goal is to make sure no one experiences hunger and to offer food in a friendly, welcoming, and equitable environment to all those who walk through our doors. All who are involved with Mi Casita pantry, including volunteers and guests, are treated with dignity and respect. Language assistance available in English and Spanish.
