***Update: as of 11am all boys clothing has been claimed. Please continue to comment if you are in need of girls clothes and what sizes are needed***

Happy to Help Food Pantry has received an influx in baby clothes donations so we will be doing grab bags to distribute it (it’s too messy with all of the small clothes on the gift table).

We will post size/gender of what bags are available and each person will be able to claim and pick up one bag! Please keep in mind that these are all spring/summer items! Sizing will be posted shortly so that you can start claiming so make sure to interact with the post so you are notified when sizes are updated!

Bags will be available for pick up Sunday 05/31 during pantry hours only 10:30am-1:50pm!

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at a food pantry?

Things like:
Where does the food come from?
What does setup look like?
How do we clean up at the end of the day?
What kind of stock/storage is needed?

These are all thing we would be happy to show off to anyone interested!

Whether you are a client, someone who might be interested in volunteering, youth group looking to give back to the community (Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, sports team, etc.), or maybe a parent showing their children how to help others…all are welcome! Feel free to send us a message to set up a time to meet!
