The food pantry addresses food insecurity and provides neighborhood families wraparound services to other SSNC programs. They also provide baby food, diapers, wipes, formula, and pre / postnatal resources to pregnant women and their families. Each Friday, the Food Pantry also provides emergency food stock boxes to seniors.

A hardworking mother of six, Daphney says she likes her work to speak for herself. Everything she does is to help her children. Her supervisor can’t stress enough about what a great worker she is and how she always goes the extra mile. Daphney even helps out in departments unrelated to the food pantry, putting in extra time and effort wherever help is needed.
