Pantry With a Purpose


Many women and their families in our area struggle to meet their basic needs for reasons outside of their immediate control, such as job loss or fleeing a home quickly to escape domestic violence.

In response to this need, Women’s Resource Center maintains a free pantry stocked with personal hygiene and household cleaning items. These items cannot be purchased through government assistance benefits, such as SNAP or WIC, but are essential to safety and wellness of those in our community.

Due to the economic downturn associated with the pandemic, we are having a tough time keeping our Pantry fully stocked.  The items in our Pantry cannot be purchased through government assistance benefits, such as SNAP or WIC, but are essential to the safety and wellness of those in our community.
