The CMC is taking necessary precautions to diminish the impact of COVID-19 on our community while continuing to provide services to our brothers and sisters in need. All regularly occurring CMC programs and meetings except those listed below are postponed until further notice. The CMC building is also closed to the public.

Current CMC COVID-19 Program Schedule:

CMC COVID-19 meal program in parking lot

Daily Free Meal

Weekdays 4:00 to 5:00pm

Weekends 11:30am to 12:00pm

The meal is distributed to-go from the CMC parking lot.

Food Pantry

Tuesday 2:00 to 3:30pm

Thursdays 10:30am to 12:00pm

Food pantry sign-up and distribution will happen in the CMC parking lot. Effective now due to colder weather, registration will take place from your vehicle and volunteers will load the food directly into the vehicle. Walk-up (pedestrian and bike) guests will be served first to minimize the time standing and waiting in the cold. You will be asked to provide your name, birth date, how many people live in your household, and your full address including zip code. Personal essentials items will be distributed Tuesdays during food pantry time. Each household may receive a set of personal essentials items once a month.

Food Pantry Delivery

Households with vulnerable members and who cannot access our food pantry Tuesday & Thursday due to the Covid-19 crisis can request delivery for Wednesday or Friday. Persons should sign up 24 hours in advance each time they’d like a delivery.
