It’s an exciting time at Basic Needs (BN), founded in 1996 and formerly known as the Stone Soup Thrift Shop. On September 12, 2023, we launched the BN Food Market, a fresh take on a traditional food pantry. Now those in need can partake of a walk-in, welcoming, dignity-based, choice-focused food market, including well-stocked grocery staples, a consistent supply of fresh fruits and vegetables, and an anonymity and convenience-based shopping experience designed for clients hesitant to engage with the hunger relief sector. YOU and your generosity enable us to do our work.
