Minnie's Food Pantry is a 501c3 nonprofit organization with a mission to provide healthy meals, educational resources, and basic life necessities by way of red-carpet treatment for families served!

For families seeking food assistance, Minnie's Food Pantry is open to serve Wednesdays - Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. and provides nonperishable goods, fresh meats, fresh produce, bakery items and dairy products.
The Empowerment Center
In addition to food assistance, Minnie's Food Pantry has reopened its Empowerment Center. Here, individuals can participate in a variety of classes and workshops that empower, encourage and educate participants. These classes range from financial literacy, health and wellness, and nutrition to job skills training, resume building, certification classes, "How-To" resources and hands-on learning opportunities. Minnie's Food Pantry hopes those they teach will utilize the tools they receive to truly transform their lives and achieve self-sufficiency!
Minnie's Boutique
Minnie's Boutique has officially reopened as a social enterprise where families can take pride in shopping for new items and basic necessities such as toiletries, clothing, cleaning products, kitchen appliances, and so much more — for FREE. Through this program, Minnie's Food Pantry is able to further combat food insecurity by providing an avenue for families to have easy access to meet their needs, while promoting a sense of self-esteem and ownership!
As the holiday season approaches, Minnie's Food Pantry is readying to provide ~3,500 families with a turkey and all the trimmings needed to prepare and enjoy a complete holiday meal with their loved ones. For those able and willing to help, Minnie's Food Pantry is in need of items such as mac and cheese, boxed potatoes, stuffing and snack items.
