Your Choice Pantry

More than just a food distribution center – a warm, welcoming space where guests can select their own groceries

At the Lunch Break Your Choice Pantry, we believe everyone deserves access to healthy, nutritious food and the dignity of choice. Your Choice Pantry is more than just a food distribution center; it’s a warm, welcoming space where guests can select their groceries, just like in a traditional market. Guests can either shop in the pantry or request grab-and-go bags, which include a choice of protein, fresh vegetables and fruit, eggs, bread and assorted non perishable food.
