The pantry continues to provide food for our neighbors, even on unscheduled pantry dates.  We are seeing more folks in need come to the office during the week for food.  Thankfully we are able to assist them in those times. The need for our pantry is always there! This is why the information in the linked article below is concerning to us and many other food pantries and food banks. States could be deciding if citizenship requirements are needed to receive food.  If this happens, food banks and pantries may be limited in the amount of food they can provide to their communities.

Thank you to the Holy Cross families who have assisted with pantry and prep this summer!  If you would like to volunteer to help with upcoming  pantries, please click here to sign-up. This will aid us in knowing who is coming to volunteer and to ensure we have opportunities for all.

July Numbers: we served 106 households, equaling 457 individuals. These numbers are down from the previous month due to the change in date for the July 4th pantry.
