I've been asked, why move? The main reason is, we need a bigger space! One of the things all of us have missed since we began Covid Lockdowns in March of 2020, is SHOPPING. Having guests come INSIDE and be able to choose their own food provides dignity, better dietary accommodations, less waste, and just good friendship and fellowship. When you are stressed, it is very healing and much needed to see a friendly face and maybe be able to talk about things with an unbiased person. No longer will people receive things that they CAN'T eat or do not want. Food is very hard to come by right now, so every can , box, bag, or item counts. In person shopping just makes sense! But Don't worry! If a guest prefers to stay in the vehicle and take a prepacked box, we will have curbside pick up. I, personally, can't wait to be able to see and talk with everyone again! I am so excited for everyone to see the planned new, bigger lay out, and the beautiful, colorful, and fun pantry back sparklier than ever!
Where will the new pantry be located?
Good location, more parking and easier access for people.
I'm so thankful you're still going to offer curbside! 🙂
We are 10% of the way to get the matching donation! Thank you everyone who has helped so far!!
We are very fortunate to have had a private philanthropic organization step forward to help us in the critical time with a matching donation. They will match dollar for dollar all donations up to 50000!! We will need a lot of help with this, please SHARE, talk to your organizations and businesses, every mention helps. We only have a few weeks to accomplish this little miracle. I will make daily reports to Keep everyone up to date as to where we stand. We can do this together!
