What Our Clients Say...

"Recently I came to the Pantry for food. It was an agonizing decision and one that came out of desperation. By the

time I came to the pantry, I had no other options. There was nothing left in my

refrigerator or cabinets. I worried profusely about having to go to a pantry

for food and not knowing what to expect.

When I arrived, everyone was kind. I

was overwhelmed. There was more food than I had seen in a very long time. You never imagine a day that you would be

hungry. I started the day with a refrigerator full of air and ended the

day with more food than I could ever imagine.

I want to thank everyone

(vendors, donors, volunteers) that make the pantry possible."

(WSCP) is more than just food.

We are about respect,

compassion and hope.

WSCP is a great place to turn for

free food and other forms of

non-financial support.

We are here to help individuals who

are struggling with

feeding their families on

a consistent basis.

Individuals and families

can save hundreds of
