Lilly Wolf recently donated half of her winnings from a program she entered to our Food Pantry. She chose to fill our shelves with a variety of cleaning products with half of her winnings. This generous act will benefit many recipients. We are very grateful to her. Lilly is a student at Erie Middle School. Many thanks to her family for instilling in her a desire to help those in need. We have seen an increase in those needing Food Pantry assistance at this time. We are always grateful for all contributions.

Will the person who contacted the Pantry & was in need of food before the next scheduled Food Pantry contact me again? I haven’t received any further contact from you. We do want to help you.

A huge thank you to Mark & Leslie Shaheen & their employees for facilitating a program in their store during the month of December for the benefit of the Erie Food Pantry. Bags were available to their customers for the purchase price of $10. A total of 258 bags were purchased. The bags were delivered to the Food Pantry & contents were available at the monthly distribution of food for needy residents of the Erie School District. Due to the generosity of the community, the Food Pantry was able to make these items available to all in need last month & in future months. There is a real need in our community as grocery prices continue to rise. We are truly blessed to live in a community that cares so much for the less fortunate. Thank you to all for sharing & caring.

A sincere thank you to Shaheen’s Market & a very caring & generous community. Mark & Leslie with help from their employees, packed bags with sustainable items from their shelves & were made available to their customers for the purchase price of $10. The purchased bags were then given to the Food Pantry in December & contents are being distributed to their clients on regular Food Pantry days. A total of 258 bags were donated. This amount of non-perishable grocery items will help our Food Pantry for several months. We owe a special debt of gratitude to Shaheen’s & the donors for this act of charity. Good things happen when we “Shop Local”!
