Large amount of mens clothes have been donated. Sizes medium to 2xl. Sweatshirts, t-shirts, shorts, pants.
If anyone is in need please reach out via messenger ASAP. We will only hold them for a few days.

We have our Wegmans delivery tomorrow. If anyone would like to help that would be great! Typically 11am-ish till it's sorted and put away. Usually takes about 1 hour.
Thank you to those who help each week with it!

We are open today 430pm-6pm for those who couldnt come on Monday!

Please bring your own bags and boxes as we are low and cannot guarantee we will have any for you to put your food in.

**Huge shout out to our community members who donated paper bags and boxes! They came in handy on Monday!**

🛑 Keeping Our Clothing Shed Safe and Clean:
A Quick Reminder 🛑

Dear Community Members,

We love that our community clothing shed is so well-utilized! It is a fantastic resource for keeping wearable clothes in circulation and helping neighbors.

However, we need to address a growing issue that puts this project at risk. Recently, people have been leaving items in a haphazard way, like VHS tapes, items that are broken, dirty, etc.

When items are dumped in a haphazard way our volunteers have to spend hours cleaning up and paying disposal fees in some cases.

Unlike other clothing sheds we don’t mind toys and household items being donated only because we offer it back to the community when possible. So we simply ask that only gently used items be put in there and as neatly as is possible.

Let’s work together to keep this space clean, safe, and open for everyone who truly needs it.Thank you for your cooperation and respect for this community space!

Lots of Information!

Tomorrow is our Monday pantry beginning at 430! We will be CLOSING at 530pm so that our volunteers can attend the local dissolution meeting that begins at 6pm.

However, we are also open Wednesday this week 430-6 if you cant make it in time.

Please remember that everyone is only able to access 1 time weekly. Ie. If you access Tomorrow you cannot come on Wednesday or vice versa.

Unrelated to the above but very important!
We ask that if you are bringing children with you which we absolutely encourage, please just be mindful of them to ensure their safety as we have lots of carts going, lots of people moving around, and items on shelves can be quite heavy.

Thank you and hope to see you tomorrow!

Hello to our little community! I just wanted to come on here and let everyone know that we see the struggle that people are facing! Foodstamps is not as accessible, and by this point has changed so significantly multiple family households may only be receiving $20-$24 a month! Prices of food are going up drastically, and so is gas! Not everyone is as fortunate as others, or has the same access as others. Anything could happen! Job loss, an extra family member, a decrease in wages, bills! This is why Food Pantries are beneficial to ANY community, ANY village, and ANY one of us!! Just last Monday we had the absolute honor of serving 5 new families, and over 100 individuals. 🥰 This is what we strive for, the difference we seek to make! We accept anyone, everyone, and it’s always with open arms and no judgment. Please! If you know of anyone in need, have them come in, sit down and get set up with our pantry; families, individuals, it does not matter. Be the difference between hunger, and a full belly. 💞 Happy Sunday everyone.

I wanted to give a shout out to Kim Hamilton for donating a tablecloth with our organization name on it to the pantry!! Thank you for making this for us 💜

Hello lovely community! We just wanted to let everyone know going forward please bring your own bags and boxes! Unfortunately we do not have the ability to continue supplying them when we have our own limited supply due to losing them quicker than we can get them. Please don’t forget them as we can no longer offer them! Thank you!

We will be open tonight, Monday June 1st, 4:30-6pm! Make sure to bring your bags, your smiles, and a happy 1st of the month attitude!!! If anyone has messaged in the last week or so with anything to donate, drop off, or would like to set up a new account to access the pantry, this is a good time to stop by! We hope to see everyone there!
