Community Bank and Trust, along with Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines recently presented Seneca Food Pantry with a $10,000.00 check, the result of a successful grant written by Bernice Thompson, Seneca Branch Manager. Seneca Food Pantry provides food supplements to an average of 140 families or 270 individuals each month here in the Seneca community, as well as offering discounted clothing and household goods and assisting victims of fire, flood, and other catastrophic events. They also offer emergency food to those in adjoining communities in times of unforeseen crises, as well as referrals to assistive agencies, etc.

The Seneca Food Pantry, and all our employees, volunteers, Board Members, Neighbors and supporters are so thankful for a bank who truly has our community not only as a part of its name, but truly at heart in thinking of us and our mission for the suffering and less fortunate in what we do everyday! Our sincere and heartfelt thanks go out to Bernice, Michelle, and everyone at CBT for supporting us and our mission!

We kindly ask that individuals, families, churches, hospitals, and other organizations contact the shelter (417-455-9393) for a phone interview before bringing someone. Taking this step first allows our staff to gather the necessary information, explain our program, and make sure RLC is an appropriate placement before transportation is arranged.

It is always our desire to help everyone who comes to us, but unfortunately that is not always possible. Current drug or alcohol use, certain criminal histories, and some medical or physical limitations that cannot be safely accommodated because of the physical layout of our building may prevent us from accepting someone into our communal living environment.

When that happens, the individual may be left in an even more difficult situation, with nowhere safe to go and no immediate plan for what comes next.

We truly appreciate everyone in our community who is trying to help. Working together and making that call (417-455-9393) first can make a big difference.
