The Giving Room food bank is a grocery-store-style space where guests can shop for free groceries and personal items. On Monday mornings we welcome guests inside to check-in, select refrigerated and frozen items from a menu, then choose fresh produce, and browse the shelves for dry goods and hygiene items while cold items are packed. On Thursday and Friday mornings we pick up food from grocery partners and sort and store food for Mondays. Every week we need over 40 collective hours of volunteer time!
