Vision:

What does Feeding Greene Do?
Feeding Greene has been providing supplemental food assistance to area families in need since 1995. Currently, we are serving over 870 families who receive over 63,000 pounds of food each month. Feeding Greene is a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer driven organization.
We are open to families every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9:00am - 12:00pm, and every Wednesday from 4:00pm - 6:00pm. When clients visit us on Thursdays, they are invited to try a dish from our tasting station that provides weekly samples of meal options made from offerings in the pantry that week.
Home food deliveries are made every Tuesday and Thursday to those with no transportation or physical needs. Individuals in need of emergency food assistance may apply at Feeding Greene, Inc. and are supplied once a month with groceries.
