Donations……

The pantry is in need of the following:
  • clothing for Newborn – 24 month old children (high need)
  • winter and spring clothing
  • mens’ shirts and pants
  • jeans all sizes
  • sweaters
  • coats for adults and children
  • blankets and bedding
  • pots and pans
  • small children toys 
  • canned and boxed food items 
We are needing your help.  Our pantry is in need for canned and boxed food for our emergency food area. During these past 2 months, we have had several families in need of food right away and our supply has become low.  If you can help with this request, please bring those canned and boxed food items to the pantry. We continue looking for a  used refrigerated van or small truck for help in getting food supplies to the pantry. If you might have those items and would like to donate them, please drop them off during our business hours at the pantry.
