Cable Area Food Shelf

The Cable Area Food Shelf  serves residents in the Cable area. The Food Shelf idea was brought to the forefront by our former Pastor Deb Pyne, who envisioned all four churches and the C.A.R.E. organization working together to provide a food pantry for the needy in our area.

The BRICK in Ashland provided start-up funding to help us get going and Bob Rasmussen graciously provided us a rent-free location in the accessible lower level of the Professional Building at the corner of Highway 63 and Spruce Street in Cable.

The community has been so generous, with individuals and organizations providing both monetary and food donations totaling an average of over 350 pounds of food per month allowing us to serve an average of over 30 needy families per month.

The Food Shelf is open the second Thursday of each month. We’re open from 11am to 6pm and welcome those in need. We also offer information about more sustainable help for families in need as we are here for emergency need.

The food shelf is now operated by a group of coordinators from each of the churches in Cable and from the C.A.R.E. organization. Each organization takes a turn in the monthly rotation to staff the Food Shelf.
