Our Mission

The Food Pantry launched in 2024 to serve discharged patients who have reported food insecurity with three days of nutritious meals and recipe cards to support their recovery and overall health.

Each food bag contains:

• Approximately $23 worth of food, equaling 9 meals
• Recipe cards curated by our registered dietitian nutritionist

Because of donations like yours, we've already distributed more than 300 bags to those in need!

How You Can Help

The Food Pantry needs your support to continue its mission. While we’ve partnered with Second Harvest to support sustainability, federal budget changes have impacted the amount and types of foods appropriate for our patients.

Thank you for your generosity and for supporting the "Feeding Our Own" Food Pantry. Let’s keep making a difference—one meal at a time!

Items we need the most:

Pasta (16 oz.) Rice (16 oz.) Canned Chicken Canned Tuna Chicken Broth Vegetable Broth Canned Marinara Sauce Diced Tomatoes Tomato Sauce

Tomato Paste Canned Potatoes (sliced or diced) Canned Green Beans Canned Corn Canned Carrots Canned Peas Granola Bars Oatmeal Raisins (individual boxes)
