FOOD PANTRY

Good Sam understands that life can be a challenge. Unexpected expenses arising from job loss, medical needs, car repairs, and family emergencies can necessitate additional help. We also understand that asking for that help is sometimes difficult, so we’re here to help you navigate these challenges by providing supplemental food assistance for your household and resource referrals for other needed services.

Good Sam is a non-profit food pantry providing supplemental food assistance for families and individuals experiencing hunger and food insecurity.  There are no residency or income requirements. We simply request a picture id if available.

Good Sam does not provide rent, utility, or financial assistance; however, we can provide referrals to other organizations that may be able to help.
