READ MOREDonations are Down
Our food donations are down by 46.4% and our financial donations are down by 37.6% from last year.
Food donations are used directly to feed the food insecure people that come to us for help. Before they receive help, they must qualify by showing proof of residency, money received in their household, and other services they receive.
Financial donations are used to purchase food that supplements what is not received through food donations and pays for operating expenses that helps keep the food pantry open.
Only with your help can we keep supplying enough food to create an average of 70,000 meals per year!
