Food Pantry Donations Needed

In 2024, our partners at the Tabernacle Community Development Corporation launched a wonderful food pantry project! Many of our photo ID guests have been able to leave their visit to the Hub not only with a plan to get their ID, but also with bags full of much-needed food. Ashrei Staff have even provided interpretation services to some of our Spanish-speaking guests, and watched them leave with bags full of milk, eggs, canned goods, juice boxes and more. The Client Choice Food Pantry treats all their guests with dignity and respect, welcoming them to fill bags with selections of their choosing, based on household size. This allows individuals to pick what works best for them and their families, while fostering a sense of compassion and trust.

This effort is vitally important to our community - and the pantry needs your support!

How can you donate?

One of the easiest and fastest ways to donate is to shop their Amazon Wishlist. These items will be delivered directly to the pantry:
