Food Access
& Community Support
The Connect Center Community Pantry provides emergency food assistance in the form of a three‑day supply of food per person. Guests select from an available menu, and trained volunteers carefully pack and prepare their orders to ensure accuracy, dignity, and ease of access. In addition to core food items, guests may choose from fresh bread and bakery items, assorted shelf‑stable foods, and, when available, feminine hygiene products, general hygiene items, and cleaning supplies.
Pre-registration can be done from home

The Connect Center also hosts Mom Starts Here, a supportive program for families with pregnant women and children from infancy through age five who qualify for assistance, connecting them to essential resources during critical early years.
