At The Shepherd’s Table, we believe no neighbor should go hungry.

That’s why we run four core programs that make it easier for people to get the food they need: a Community Kitchen serving hot meals every day, a client-choice pantry where families shop for their own groceries, a Fresh Xpress Farmers Market that brings fresh produce into the community each month, and our OrderAhead Lockers for quick, convenient food pickup. Together, these programs help thousands of neighbors get food each year.

In our Pantry, we offer (when available) dairy, eggs, fruits and vegetables, meat, bread, pet food/supplies, shelf-stable/non-perishable goods, and hygiene products.

Fresh Xpress

Every third Saturday of the month, we host a no-cost Farmers Market at The Shepherd’s Table from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. to distribute fresh fruits and vegetables.

  • Held on the third Saturday of each month

  • Distributes 10,000+ pounds of fresh produce every year

  • Ensures neighbors have access to fruits and vegetables, not just shelf-stable food
