What to expect

A walk through pantry experience

No appointment is needed. Visit during open hours and our volunteers will guide you through the pantry in a way that is focused on what your household can use.

Client's Choice

We are a "Client's Choice" pantry, in which families receive individual attention from volunteers in selecting food and hygiene products. As clients walk through the pantry, they are allowed to choose the vegetables, meat products, soups, baking items, pastas, etc. that their family can use. This interaction with the families allows us to provide assistance in a compassionate manner to those members of our Fairview community who are experiencing financial hardship.
