🍁 Food Pantry Facts Friday 🍁

As summer comes to an end and families prepare for a new school year, many household budgets are stretched thin. School supplies, clothing, transportation costs, and other seasonal expenses can make it difficult to keep the pantry full at home.

For many children, the return to school also means facing hunger challenges that can impact their ability to learn, grow, and thrive. That's why food assistance programs are especially important during the fall months.

At the Community Food Pantry of Butler, we're committed to helping local families put nutritious food on the table when they need it most. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we can continue providing support and hope to our neighbors throughout Bates County.

Together, we can make sure no child has to focus on an empty stomach instead of their education. ❤️

🍂🌽 Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day! 🌽🍂

Today we recognize and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. Indigenous communities have shared knowledge, resilience, and a deep connection to the land across generations, helping shape agriculture, stewardship practices, and communities throughout our nation.

As a food pantry, we especially appreciate the lasting impact of Indigenous agricultural knowledge, including crops such as corn, squash, and beans that continue to nourish families today.

Let this day be an opportunity to learn, reflect, and honor the enduring contributions of Indigenous peoples, both past and present.
