In order to support the health of low-income residents, FRP hosts food pantries throughout the week at many of our housing locations. These food pantries help to provide our residents with food and other necessities that many individuals would have difficulty accessing. Our raised beds and rooftop gardens help stock some of the food available to residents at the food pantry. Volunteers are needed to help organize and operate our food pantries. We are also accepting donations of food, toiletries, and household supplies!
