from our Families that we serve

How have we impacted your lives?

Because of the pantry I can pay my high gas/electric bill, I can make my rent payment which has increased over the past year, and I can have fresh fruit and vegetables which are really expensive. I don’t have to choose between food and bills.

You guys helped my family at our darkest time.

This pantry has really helped us stretch our food budget each month, we really like that we are able the pick what we want unlike some other places where the food we are given that we won't eat goes to waste.

With being on a fixed income and rising prices of everything, it has helped with easing some of the stress of choosing the healthy foods that are the most expensive. I love the friendly non judgement atmosphere given to all.

Friendly non-judgmental staff. I've never had to use a food pantry in my life. Since my husband passed, life has been financially difficult. You all are such a blessing.

I don't have a lot of money and coming to you helps keep the family going and I don't have to worry about feeding the family. I am a senior taking care of my three grandchildren so it is hard. I have appreciated all you have done. I think what you are doing is great not only for my family, but others as well. I try to take only what I know we will use. The great thing is that we get to choose what we would use. I have heard other places give you a bag of food and mostly things you would use or like.

I don't have to worry so much about where our next meal will come from. I love the non judgmental volunteer's, the friendly hello's and small talk brighten my day.
Weekly Guest
I appreciate being able to take only what we need. We were running out of groceries before payday and you have really been closing the gap for us. Thank you so much!!

If we closed,

How would that impact you?

We would have to stretch our food budget very thin. Probably even cut into the money we have for bills.

I don’t know what I’d do. I’m just above the financial line for government food and assistance programs. I’m caring for my daughter and I lost child support in 2021 so I’m doing this all on my own, and prices just keep raising. I’ve never had to find help like you all give. I’m used to being on the role of the giver. I’m just so grateful for the help now that I’m the one who needs it.

Life would be more difficult and I would need to decide what to pay and not pay

Weekly Guest

Our family would be scrambling to make meals

Weekly Guest

Be hard to buy groceries to feed my children

Weekly Guest

Have to fall behind on other bills

Weekly Guest

Some bill might be late, there always wouldn't be a complete meal for the day. My stress level would sky rocket.

Weekly Guest

We would be back to running out of groceries before payday. We wouldn't have fresh fruit and vegetables to eat. We are diabetic and appreciate the healthy food.

Weekly Guest

We would have to just make due with what we have. We would not be eating as health as we do now. Got us through some tough times. We really love that it's for anyone and you can pick what you'd like.
