Community Pantries
After many months of hard work, our new permanent pantry and two satellite pantries are ready!
A few things to know:​
The doors of the large pantry are operated by a button. They will open when you push the button, and CLOSE AUTOMATICALLY after a short time. If you are finding the door to not be functioning properly, please reach out via text to Naomi at 403-880-8320.
