Caldwell Food Pantries - Help Where You Need It

Things have been tough for a lot of people lately and finding resources during a pandemic can be a challenge. Many businesses have either closed, changed how they operate, or changed what services they are providing. One of the biggest struggles out there is finding food. Food insecurity is something we have seen many of our patrons struggle with. Because of this, we have gathered information on different food pantries in the area and compiled a list. Below will focus on food pantries within closest walking distance from the library but we can also give information on other food pantries in the area.
