Back to the Pantry for our first time in 2025!  AND Back to second semester for the school year!  What would a new year be if we didn't offer School Supplies to prepare for this semester? Lois has been collecting school supplies all fall and filled tables in the gathering room with backpacks, books, paper, pencils, crayons, glue, and the list goes on...Lauren and Lois spent the morning distributing items to all families with school age students.

Manna offers bi-weekly deliveries and we can also stop by Manna during the week for miscellaneous items.  From the pictures, you can see that the Manna pallet provides lots of food items and our shelves are well stocked. We had plenty of milk, eggs, produce, and meat to distribute to our neighbors on Saturday. 104 families shopped with a volunteer representing 416 individuals and eleven new families. A special "Shout-Out" to our carryout volunteers...It was definitely a two hand warmer day!!

On behalf of our Pantry Board, we express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous food and monetary donations to our pantry. Your donations will make a significant impact on the lives of those in our community who are struggling with food insecurity.

 Happy New Year to one and all!

 For The Executive Committee, -- Kathy Noyes
