Find Help When You Need It: Announcing Our Community Food Pantry Map
We are thrilled to announce the first major resource from the Corespark Community Center: The Community Food Pantry Map.
This tool is the first step in fulfilling our core mission: Accessible Support for Everyone.
We believe that everyone deserves access to help, and that technology can make that access easier. This virtual center is our way of providing vital community resources to our neighbors. All resources you find here are, and will always be, 100% free to the community. No sign-ups, no fees. Just help when you need it.
One Place to Find Local Food Assistance
Finding reliable, up-to-date information on food assistance can be a challenge. Our new map gathers the locations, hours, and service details for food pantries across our region into one simple, easy-to-use tool.
You can use the search and filter options to find a pantry that meets your needs right now.
We are proudly starting this map with 51 pantries and are working to add more every day.
A Resource Built By and For the Community
This map is just the beginning, and its success depends on all of us. Here are two ways you can help.
1- Help Us Improve the Map
The map is only as good as its data. This is where we need your help.

- Have multiple pantries? Email us at food-pantry@corespark.io for bulk submissions.
- Found an issue or have an idea? Let us know by submitting ideas or bug reports on GitHub!
2- Help Us Grow the Community Center
This entire project is built by and for our community. As a 100% free resource, we rely on community support to grow.
