You may wonder…why is a Children’s Museum running a food pantry? Because children can’t play if their caregivers can’t afford groceries.

Our food pantry is special and here’s why:

• We are one of a handful of children’s museums in the nation to host a food pantry.
• The food pantry @ CMEE is 100% volunteer run.
• To ensure families have the know-how to cook produce that might be new to them, CMEE hosts visiting farmers and chefs to cook alongside patrons.
• When families come to “shop” the food pantry, children are always encouraged to take a free book or stay and play for a while with our Educators.

In need of food? Sign up for our bi-weekly Food Pantry using the Plentiful App and pickup food between 4:30pm and 6:30pm on scheduled Thursdays. Can't figure out the app? No problem. Walk-ins are welcome and our friendly staff can help.

Quizás se pregunte… ¿por qué un Museo Infantil administra una despensa de alimentos? Porque los niños no pueden jugar si sus cuidadores no pueden pagar los alimentos.

¿Necesita alimentos? Regístrese para nuestra despensa de alimentos quincenal usando la aplicación Plentiful y recoja alimentos entre las 4:30 p. m. y las 6:30 p. m. los jueves programados. ¿No puede usar la aplicación? No hay problema. Se aceptan personas sin cita previa y nuestro amable personal puede ayudarle.
