In 1933, Settlment board members beagn distributing meals to neighborhood schools to feed students coping with the Great Depression, dealing an average of 4,000 meals each day.
Today, many West Town families turn to the Settlement’s Food Pantry & Support Services program because they know that here, they will find a quick and caring response to their needs.
We are open Monday through Thursday from 9:00AM to11:00AM and 1:00PM to 3:00PM.
