COVID Tentant Eviction Protection Information
Valley Community Pantry is here to help you!
The Pantry is primarily an emergency food bank; however, we do have other resources from time to time to help with issues such as emergency shelter and utilities. We also have the ability to refer you to the appropriate resource if we do not have what you need available.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
