The Community Pantry is partnering with the Life Center and Whitewater Crossing to provide kids under 18 food and fun during the summer. The pantry is providing free bag lunches for all the kids and free food bags for every family. Thanks to our partner, the Freestore Food Bank, for bringing a Pop-Up Produce Truck.

Bring your kids, get a free lunch, and have some fun! Wednesdays, 11am-12:30pm, June 4 through July 9 at Whitewater Crossing.

Check out our Facebook page for what’s happening each week.

The Community Pantry is very grateful to one of its partners,
the Whitewater Community Garden, for providing the Shopping Pantry with fresh fruits and vegetables. The pantry is always interested in providing healthy food options for its shoppers.

Last summer, shoppers were able to pick up tomatoes, cucumbers,
zucchini, blackberries, and even a few potatoes.

Planting has begun for 2025 and we’re looking forward to the results,
grown and harvested with love!
