Food Market

Welcome to Our Neighborhood Food Market

Our Food Market is here to help—whether you need groceries for the week or just a little extra. 

You’ll choose the foods that work best for you and your household. Like a grocery store, you’ll pick from fresh produce, proteins, dairy, shelf-stable items, and culturally familiar foods. 

You’re welcome to visit twice a month—we want you to feel you feel seen, supported, and never alone in meeting your needs.
