Mobile Food Pantry
SnowCap brings food to low income schools and apartment complexes to reach children whose families are unable to get to our shopping-style pantry. These food boxes are convenient, but not nearly as good as shopping for your own food at the pantry.

Good Neighbor Day (Formerly Community Basket)Good Neighbor Day, a type of gleaning program, distributes boxes on the 2nd Thursday of each month at SnowCap between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. Participants receive a variety of foods. If you would like to participate in this program, please bring your Link2Feed number and bags/boxes to carry your items home in. If you are new to SnowCap, we will get you signed up onsite.
