🚧 Service Update: June 17–18
As we install a new awning over the pantry entrance, there will be a temporary adjustment to how Community Neighbors access our services.

✅ Entry/exit will take place on the north side of the building (Caritas Treasures entrance)
✅ Intake process will remain the same
✅ Staff and volunteers will be available to guide you

⚠️ Parking will be LIMITED—please plan to use street parking and avoid parking at neighboring businesses.

We appreciate your patience as we make this improvement to better serve our community! 💙

Jacob has spent years showing up for his children with steady strength and unwavering love.

After the loss of their mother, he became both provider and guide, working full-time while staying deeply involved in their lives. When he needed extra support, he turned to Caritas for help with healthcare access and food assistance.

With the right support, Jacob continues to provide stability for his family and build a strong future for his children. 💙

Your support makes stories like Jacob’s possible.
