“It’s like going into Jewel. You get your cart and you’re shopping. You're seeing everything. You can pick what you need. And what you don't need, you don't take.”
— Neighbor in Need
When our food pantry converted to a “grocery store” format, the change uplifted everyone involved. The pantry now serves nearly 600 registered households within our 15-village region. A region where thousands of our neighbors are living below the poverty line. A region where the transformation of our food pantry to a grocery store format means more than we previously imagined.
We still have a long way to go with our transformation. If you want to donate toward this important initiative, or any one of our many other strategic initiatives, please check them out here.
