Dry Goods Pantry

We work alongside area food pantries to provide dry goods to those who need a little help. Dry goods include shampoo, dish soap, bar soap, toilet paper, liquid laundry soap, and other items when available. Our Dry Goods Pantry is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. To receive dry goods, visit one of our food pantry partners, register with them, and you will receive a dry goods voucher that can be brought to the Hope Center of Valparaiso (Entrance 4). We partner with Immanuel Lutheran Church’s food pantry.
