Volunteers working to maintain social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic.
Catholic Charities’ food pantries have been operating since shelter-in-place became our new normal, along with all of our other programs that are being handled by phone and email rather than face-to-face.
Our drive-thru food distributions operate at our regional food pantries each week. Days, times and location information is below.
Our three largest food pantries are open each week:
