New 2024 hours first Monday of each month 4-7pm.

Mercy Center’s Food Pantry is open every weekday, and only one of two food pantries is open full-time in the area. The recent expansion of our food pantry (completed in February 2022) increased access for people with disabilities, enhanced our capabilities to distribute a greater variety of foods, including meats and dairy products, and offers self-choice selection in a stigma-free, friendly environment. 

Mercy Center’s newly expanded food pantry provides emergency services to anyone who walks through the pantry door and social services next door to help them improve their overall situation.

“The increased capacity in the pantry, complete with new refrigerators, shelving, and ramp access, help to provide equality for families who are food insecure by providing them with an expanded variety of foods, including more meats and dairy. 

Through Emergency Services, Mercy Center addresses crucial needs such as food insecurity, personal care items, clothing, and temporary assistance with household utility bills.  

* Individuals are referred to on-site programs or other community providers, based on specific needs, to obtain long-term stability.
