Nearly 1 in 7 families in our community are “food insecure” ...meaning they are not sure they will have the ability to meet their food needs from one day to the next. Many times these families will have unexpected expenses come up which disrupts their monthly budgets and makes providing food to the family a major challenge. Mimi’s Pantry aims to be a temporary stop-gap for individuals and families in this type of predicament.
Some of the items we consistently need the most include:
Cereal
Condiments ( Salad dressing, BBQ Sauce, Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo),
Canned beans ( Black, Northern, Garbanzo)
Rice side dishes
Packaged potatoes
Baking items
Snacks (chips, granola bars, fruit snacks, etc.)
Dog and cat food
There is plenty of food available in the world. There is just a distribution issue.

Books
One of the unique features of Mimi’s Pantry is the library of books available for our clients to take home. Many times there isn’t enough money left in the budget to buy books for the family members. Research has proven that proficient reading skills are a major factor in a child’s success in school.

Having books available to read can make the difference between success and failure.
