Drive-Thru Pantry

In 2015, Gleaners’ Board leadership and other caring community leaders made it possible to build a pantry adjacent to Gleaners’ warehouse. The Community Cupboard is a model for other hunger relief agencies, implementing best practices and innovative services designed to not just feed the hungry, but serve with dignity and respect.

Converted to a drive-thru model during the pandemic, neighbors can receive a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, protein, dairy, and other items from the comfort of their cars, loaded by community volunteers.
