Some of our wonderful volunteer warriors at the Drury Lane food trade show. We are so lucky to have these folks. Loving Zack in the hat! RoseAnne looking absolutely fabulous, 4 of the 5 Pecoraro brothers and some goofy old man. Not pictured but equally fantastic are Jack,Marcelo, Megan, Jeanne, Larry and Peter who waited for us at the pantry. Hope I didn’t forget anyone! We recovered 10’s of thousands of lbs from this trade show. God bless us everyone

While this is not in our area, it is a concern. As food availability and affordability decreases, this can easily become anyone’s neighborhood. However, The Itasca food pantry is not in any immediate danger of closing and that is because of you in the community!!! And if you’re interested in donating, we are looking for canned fruits. Any kind. Thanks for all you do.

After 20 years of serving surrounding communities, a popular Minnesota pantry that distributes food to families in need is closing, effective immediately. FULL STORY: bit.ly/4m7xBXu

The pantry team has been working hard all month as we prepared to replace 3 sets of shelving!

On Saturday, Vincenzo, Rosario, Antonio, and Evan stayed after hours and took down the old shelving unit and put up the new shelves.

Thanks for your hard work on this special improvement project!

Noah, Vince and Zack. Three of our most dedicated and sometime goofiest volunteers. Without volunteers like them, we would have a difficult time serving our clients in the manner in which we’d like. Thank you guys, and every other volunteer both frequent and non frequent.

Even on the coldest day of the year (7degrees) people are hungry. We are here to serve. God bless all our volunteers, their dedication is exceptional.
