Help Us Feed Local Families

Home Events Help Us Feed Local Families

We’re excited to share that the Exploration Discovery Center has launched a new Food Pantry Program to support families in our community. Every Saturday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, we offer free grocery pickup—no questions asked. If you or someone you know could use a little extra help, please stop by.

To keep our shelves stocked and this program thriving, we’re also accepting food donations Monday–Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM. Every contribution makes a difference.

Items needed include:

Vegetables, fruits, beans, lentils

Tomatoes, tomato sauce

Broth (chicken, beef, vegetable)

Chicken, tuna, sardines, chili

Soups, ready-to-eat meals

Rice, pasta, cereal

Instant oatmeal

Shelf-stable noodles (spaghetti, ramen)

Peanut butter

Shelf-stable milk & baby formula

Cooking oil

Spices & seasonings

Snacks

Granola bars, trail mix

Nut-free snack packs

Crackers, popcorn, dried fruit

Thank you for helping us support local families in need!
