New Year. Full Plates. When people think of food pantries, they
think of food—and that's essential. But food is only part of what it
takes to keep our pantry open.
Behind every bag of groceries is a building to maintain,
refrigeration to keep food safe, utilities to keep the lights on, and
a welcoming space where neighbors can pick up food with dignity.
Our pantry is funded entirely by our thrift store and the generosity
of people like you. A monthly donation—no matter the size—creates
steady, reliable support that helps us serve our community all year
long, not just during the holidays. Make giving back part of your
New Year's resolution, monthly giving is one of the most powerful
ways to help.
