Great changes this week at the ASC Food Pantry! We replaced all of our wire racks with standard store shelving. Thanks to the staff who worked hard to flip the pantry in just one day. We are so happy to be able to see our windows and provide a more grocery store like experience to our community.

And don't worry - our wire racks will be put to very good use in our delivery program, fresh daily bread and produce program, storing produce in our walk in cooler, and even for our truck unloads.
