Food Pantries
We currently have two food pantries. JCC Food Pantry is located in JCC Community Marketplace and a fully stocked food pantry is located at Eagle View Community Health System's Recharge Teen Center. The JCC Food Pantry serves an average of 1,387 individuals each month and 157 people through the Recharge pantry.
Families or individuals who live in Warren County and meet our income guidelines can receive essential food and diapers and/or period supplies. Many of our guests work part time because they are unable to find full time employment. Some are senior citizens whose retirement "nest egg" fell short due to inflation. Other visitors are disabled or need temporary help due to a severe illness or injury. Regardless of the situation we are happy they are here. Food plays an integral role in physical, mental, and social well-being.
At the pantry in the Community Marketplace, families with children can come weekly and families without children can come twice a month. Teens from all communities, entering 8th grade through the age of 18, may visit the pantry in the Recharge Teen Center as often as they would like.
