Hope Café and Hope Pantry are open nearly every Monday and Tuesday from 2pm to 6pm (coordinating with our neighbors SCA and Toy Corner; holidays may affect the schedule.) Our Pantry is a volunteer supported program that provides grocery items to local people in need. Hope Café offers coffee, tea, hot chocolate and snacks for free, and a welcoming atmosphere to relax, and enjoy some quiet time, or some conversation and resource sharing. We have a play area for children, and games, puzzles or crafts for all ages.
