Fresh Food Pantry

For the past five years, The North East Community Center's Fresh Food Pantry has purchased and delivered a wide variety of fresh, locally produced vegetables, milk, and eggs to four area food pantries for distribution to food-insecure residents. The program makes it possible for several small farms to increase their production and sales and for 125 households of low income to obtain fresh, nutritious food that they could not otherwise afford.
