In 2007 when we started our food pantry, it was designed to be a source of food to supplement what our clients were receiving at other food banks. We had a large monthly budget and kept it fully stocked at all times.
Times are very different today. Today, those other food pantries don't exist. Our budget is half of what it used to and the clients are dependent on us as their sole source of food. We can not keep food stocked for more than a day or so and our staff has limited time to access the food banks in the area.
As we move forward with our core services, we contemplate shutting the food pantry down all together and focusing our nutritional efforts on the daily meals we provide. With your help, we won't have to make this tough decision. Plain and simple.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you!
