If your family could use food support- Check out SpotMart
The Spot runs SpotMart, a school-based food pantry - we provide monthly bags of non-perishable food which are available for pick up or can be delivered to your doorstep. For those living in temporary housing or with limited kitchen access, we can also provide microwave-friendly and easy-to-prepare items.
There’s no application process - if you need food support just fill out the registration form and choose delivery or pick-up. If you need food before our next scheduled distribution, please reach out to your school counselor or social worker, and we’ll work with them to get your family what you need.

Gleaners Kitchen
The Gleaners Community Kitchen opened in February of 1987 with a mission: to serve healthy meals, free of charge, to those in need, no questions asked, no one denied. Since serving just three meals on that first day we have grown tremendously. We now serve about 55 meals each day, more than 12,000 annually! With the generous support of local grocery stores, restaurants, service organizations and individuals, we will continue to provide meals for many years to come.
The Gleaners Community Kitchen is committed to making a difference in the lives of those in need. We provide our hungry neighbors with nutritious meals every day- without question and at no cost. We accomplish this through the dedication of our volunteers, with donations and gifts from the community, and by treating our guests with compassion and dignity.
