Delivery will be available for anyone who is unable to pick up their meals.

On Mondays, volunteers will also provide breakfast bags with assorted cereals, juice, yogurt, muffins, or instant oatmeal. On Wednesdays, a garden bag will be offered, containing produce from the school garden. On Fridays, participants can take home a GAP Bag containing canned foods, peanut butter, boxed pastas, and pantry staple items.
