During November the Alfred Area Food Pantry experienced the “give” in Thanksgiving. First there were Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts going door to door collecting a truly impressive quantity of food which was shared between the Alfred and Almond pantries. Right behind them, came Alfred-Almond Student Government with another amazing haul; also divided between the two pantries. Pantry volunteers marveled at the generosity of our little community as they struggled to find shelf space for the many and varied items.
The Alfred Area Food Pantry (AAFP) has settled nicely into its new Moland Road location at KonXions United Methodist Church. An ever-increasing number of families and individuals, young and old, are receiving nutritious food once a month. AAFP recently partnered with Foodlink, the Rochester-based food bank serving Allegany County, and received their first delivery of nutritious (and fun) foods in November.
At this moment, the shelves are bursting; but with increased demand and rising food prices the pantry will need help long before next November. Donations of both food and personal care items can be left off when the pantry is open Tuesday and Thursday 5:30 to 6:30 or contact Steve Crandall at 607-382-6229 or Laurel Buckwalter at 607-968-0669 to arrange a drop off. To donate money you may drop it off during regular hours or mail it to: Alfred Area Food Pantry, PO Box 453, Alfred, NY 14802. Volunteers are always needed; call Steve Crandall to find out how you can help.
