Choice Food Pantry
at Grace Care Center
Not just emergency help.
A pathway out of poverty.
Home to the area’s largest free, fresh food market, Grace Care Center serves 12,000 people each year.
And we’ve just tried to be really thoughtful about how families experience food assistance. Instead of handing out pre-packed boxes, families actually shop, choosing the food that’s the best fit for their families.
Choices are Dignifying
Most food pantries give out the same items to everyone.
We’ve built a grocery-store-style experience
Families choose their own food, shopping with points instead of dollars
Healthy options are prioritized
They’re welcomed by volunteers who know their name
Meeting basic needs feels completely different at Grace Care Center. Being met with dignity during a tough time is what keeps people coming back and engaging deeper.
