Frequently Asked Questions

We are open on the 2nd  Saturday of each month.

Shopping here is like going to a grocery store - you look at the shelves, and pick the items you like best.  Come to the side entrance of the church with the "Matthew Mission Outreach Center" sign above it. You will have to go down six steps.

A volunteer will be give a rolling cart with a reusable bag inside to fill with your selections. We offer shelf stable foods- items in boxes, cans, jars, and similar packaging.  We do not have refrigeration and cannot offer fresh produce.   We are sometimes able to offer personal goods like shampoo and toilet paper.  Our items fluctuate based on what is donated.   There is a one bag limit for customers, except families with children at home who can take two bags.
