11 years ago, there was a Girl Scout Troop...... Here is the annual retelling of our origination story, as requested by Vern.
Pantry 279 was started by 10 girl scouts in from Edgewood Jr High as a project to earn their silver award. The girls came to our scout meeting one day very upset and talking about some friends at school who sat at their table and had been asking for the left over food they were throwing away. My daughter was nominated to ask Why they were wanting their "gross" food. They were informed that the only food these 2 sisters got was at school and they were saving it in their lockers for the weekend. We talked about food banks and food pantries at that meeting and the girls said Let's build a food pantry!! And I said NO, that is a LOT of work, but I went home and felt bad as I was always telling them "Go big or go home" & "If you put in the work, you can accomplish anything" So I went back at the next meeting, tried to talk some sense into them, and well....we built a food pantry. It took to years of research, visiting other pantries, cookie money (a LOT of cookie money ) and what the girls termed, the Bank of Grandpa. Trinity Lutheran Church was kind enough to let us use their bus bay as the pantry, providing we cleaned it out. That was the fastest and quietest deep clean I have ever seen these girls do!. They build the shelves, and I learned do NOT let tweens and young teens use a nail gun......They painted the shelves all different colors ( and the grass, and the pavement, and each other ) And on Nov 2, 2015 we opened for the first time!

Happy Birthday Pantry 279 !! I can't believe it but today we turn 11 years old. How things have changed from that small spot in the back bus bay of Trinity Lutheran Church to now. All of our thoughts and dreams, all that we thought we knew, but learned we knew very little. The friends we have made, they friends we have lost, and lives we have changed or even saved. The girls have all grown up. Some return to help, a couple are still working at Pantry, some have children of their own, some have recently graduated college and moved to careers. Please enjoy our stories and memories throughout today, and feel free to stop by, chat, reminisce, and see how things have grown. Please leave your own stories and pantry memories. For now here are a couple of 11 yr old pictures.

I know this is a little off the wall request, but if anyone has any commercial heavy duty clothing racks they could donate, or knows people who own a business that may have a couple they could donate, we could really use them. Sandy came in today to a few of our donated racks broken, as they were not commercial or heavy duty. She said she is running out of racks to hang the clothing on. I have included an Amazon link to a good one, if anyone would like to go that way. Thank you!
