ROUND PANTRY Shoppers
The ROUND PANTRY provides food at no cost on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month using a drive line distribution process; loaders wearing masks and gloves load food into the trunk of each car without coming within 6 feet of the driver. Shoppers drive up (or walk up) to get food during the hours of 2:00 – 6:00 p.m. Shoppers receive several prepacked bags of non-perishable foods, produce, dairy products, frozen foods and bread & desserts. Each shopping household receives a gallon of fresh milk. Other food items are also provided as available.
