The Food Bank is open twice each week, offering fresh and canned food for families in need, and many consider it a crucial lifeline. The Food Bank is open every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 7pm, and volunteers assist with the distribution of food. In 2016, there was a significant increase in the number of families served - the number of households served grew from 80 to 135 every month and the number of individuals served grew from 272 to 446 every month.
