Food Pantries For Those in Need
Founded in 2006, The Simon's House is a faith-driven mission serving some of the community's most vulnerable, which includes those experiencing homelessness, veterans, children, single parents, individuals facing mental health challenges, and people re-entering society after incarceration. Guided by compassion and a commitment to restoring hope, The Simon's House offers access to food, counseling, health screenings, and other forms of practical and spiritual support.
Sustained entirely through the generosity of public donations, the work of The Simon's House is made possible by a network of referring agencies, churches, and dedicated volunteers who give their time, skills, and care to those in need.
With five food pantry locations, The Simon's House Food Pantry provides groceries to more than 400 veterans each week, ensuring that no one is left hungry. In addition, health screenings, nutrition classes, and prayer support are available upon request, offering a holistic approach to wellness.
