Calabash food pantry
Building Healthy Communities
The MCFS food pantry began in 2015 as a response to address the increased food insecurity among immigrant seniors in 2015. Due to increased community food-insecurity needs exacerbated by the COVID-19 Pandemic, MCFS began operating as an independent emergency food pantry in March 2020.
The Pantry currently serves a minimum of 600 families, adults, children and seniors monthly. Donations can be received on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9am - 4pm at 7016 Terminal Square Suite 4A​​.
The Pantry opens at 11:00am on the First and Third Tuesdays of each month!
