Food Pantry

The food pantry enables clients to “shop” for food once a month. It is stocked with a wide variety of non-perishable foods, paper goods, personal hygiene items, meats, and fresh produce, including fruits and vegetables grown at the Gifts of Love farm. We provide training on the benefits of healthy food choices, ensuring that clients understand how such choices impact their overall health and well-being.

Thanksgiving Meal

During Thanksgiving week, we distribute a basket to our clients full of all the food necessary to put on a wonderful family holiday meal.

Basic Needs Programs

Household Items: Along with our food pantries, we support clients who need personal and household items. This is particularly important to clients who are leaving a shelter, experiencing a divorce, or have suffered a fire. Clients can “shop” our store for items such as:

• In-season clothing for the family
• Toiletries
• Bed linens, towels, pots, pans, dishes, and small appliances

Holiday Shop: During December, we collect gifts from the community and set up and decorate a Holiday Shoppe where our clients and their family can shop for their holiday gifts.

Operation Fuel: Gifts of Love administers the Operation Fuel Program. Operation Fuel is an emergency energy assistance program that provides a grant for households that fall within the income guidelines and are experiencing a financial crisis.
