PHYSICAL RESOURCES DIVISION
The mission of the Community Development Center Physical Resources Division is to provide care and outreach to the surrounding communities. We believe that access to nutritious food is a basic human right. We are committed to responding to the needs of our community through food distribution and support services. Through our Food Pantry, we strive to eliminate hunger in our community and surrounding areas by acquiring and distributing food to those who seek aid. We will accomplish this mission by educating, building partnerships, empowering and enlightening the community about the issues of hunger and nutrition.
