Food Pantries and Soup Kitchens

Food Pantries

There are a number of pantries and soup kitchens of all sizes throughout the ward. Those that provide case management services in addition to food are able to help consumers address the root causes of poverty so that they have a stronger chance of becoming more self-reliant.
