Client Choice. Sabathani’s food shelf allows clients to choose their own groceries.

Culturally Specific Foods. In response to the needs of our diverse community, SCC dedicates a portion of food inventory to culturally specific food options that are uncommon at most food shelves.

Community Food Delivery. Sabathani delivers food to seniors to help address isolation and maintain their health. Food is also delivered to other community members unable to travel to the food shelf in person.
