About US
OUR VISON
The Clearinghouse was founded in 1981 in the basement of a church to serve as a vital resource for the hungry in our community. Since then, we have continued to work towards a better future where no neighbor goes hungry.
OUR DRIVE
Each week, our dedicated staff and volunteers help hundreds of vulnerable neighbors by providing nutritious food and essential resources. Using our mobile pantry, Senior Box, and Sacks of Snacks programs, we’re able to reach deeper into our community and make a meaningful difference.
OUR IMPACT
At a time when many people, even those who once gave, are seeking help, The Clearinghouse remains a reliable resource. Whether it is the neighbors we serve daily, the 180 families reached by our mobile pantry, or the hundreds of schoolchildren receiving Sacks of Snacks, we are here to help.
Together, we make sure that no neighbor goes hungry.

Kelly Glenn - Administrative Services
"My name is Kelly Glenn. I am the Administrative Assistant to the Executive Director. I started working with the Clearinghouse in June of 2024.
I assist the Executive Director with writing grants, typing documents, collecting and counting donations when received, handling timesheets, and sorting mail. I also provide any type of assistance needed to the rest of the staff and volunteers. Just ask me, and I will help.
What I enjoy about working at The Clearinghouse is most definitely the people. They are all kind, dedicated, and show compassion to all who walk through the doors. I also like the fact that no two days are alike, there’s never a dull moment, and there is always something new to learn every day.
When you are learning and helping your community at the same time, it’s a win-win situation. "
Lynn Williamson - Mobile Pantry
"My name is Lynn Williamson,
I oversee all of the Mobile Pantry programs at the Clearinghouse. The Mobile Pantry exists to provide food to low-income families and seniors who cannot go out to get food due to either transportation issues or health problems.
To ensure everything runs smoothly, I establish a driver's schedule for each program and work with management staff at 14 low-income and senior housing complexes to establish delivery days.
My heart goes out to clients with food insecurities! Years ago, my husband and I moved across the country to care for my brother, who had become ill. We struggled to make our money stretch while getting established in a new community. Without the help of a food pantry and shelter, we would not have been able to be there for my brother in his most vulnerable time.
I am thankful that I can be a small piece of the Clearinghouse puzzle in an effort to see that no one in need goes hungry in our community."
