The Chapel in the Pines hosts a Community Food Exchange Cupboard, open to everyone on the principle of “Take what you need, leave what you can.”

The cupboard is stocked with shelf-stable foods like pasta, rice, canned goods, and snacks. You’ll also often find baked goods donated by local grocery stores, along with fresh produce from nearby gardens when in season.

Anyone may contribute by placing items directly in the cupboard, and anyone in need is welcome to take what’s helpful—no questions asked.

This simple exchange helps neighbors support one another and ensures that no food goes to waste. To participate, just stop by the Chapel in the Pines, bring what you can, and take what you need.
