Why Give
Over the course of the pandemic, we’ve seen an exponential increase in need for pantry support. Unemployment, rising costs, safety concerns, and many other economic conditions have put a strain on area families. The numbers below represent a real need for folks to put food on their tables, who are increasingly turning to community-based organizations to meet their basic needs.
