In October, Sara’s Table at the Kraus-Chaiken Food Pantry in partnership with The Weinberg Foundation/CEO helped put food on the table for 489 local families 💙

Thank you to the St. Nicholas St. Mary School Honor Society students and their advisor, Viera Adameck, for lending a hand at last Friday’s food distribution. They kept things running smoothly and brought some school spirit to the pantry!

Please note!! Our next food distribution is tomorrow, Friday, November 6th. For November and December, distributions move to the first and third Fridays due to the holidays.
