Services
The Emergency Assistance Center (TEAC) provides monthly assistance with food, hygiene, and other basic neccessities, and offers seasonal support for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.
The Emergency Assistance Center (TEAC) is first and foremost a food pantry, providing a monthly 7-day supply of food.
In 2020, we remained open 40 hours per week throughout the pandemic. At all service visits throughout the year, 8,787 individuals received food for a total of 162,741 meals!
Our primary goal is to feed the hungry, and we always serve those in need of emergency help, as well as those in our service area who need continued help to put food on the table.
