The Resource Room

We are excited to share that our new resource, the Maker Free Pantry, is now open for families experiencing hardship.

The pantry contains non-perishable food items, cleaning supplies, hygiene products and toiletries, new, unworn clothing basics and winter attire in sizes small through extra large. 

Please use this link to schedule a time so a staff member can be available to help you in the pantry: Click here to pick a time.

If you are not able to come in during the available times, please contact Clint or Melissa.

Thank you to the Maker PTA for a generous donation that supplemented our funding for this initiative.
