9/3/20 Update: As schools and our volunteer program re-open, the Food Bank will be transitioning from our large Community Food Distributions to some of our regular Mobile Food Pantry locations. These events will continue to be drive-thrus and pre-registration will continue to be required to attend any of these events. Registration will be open one weekday before the event between 8am and 4pm.
We also encourage community members to visit their local food pantry if possible. Visit FBST's Food Finder for a list of pantries.
