A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful neighbors at Pennington Point for hosting a food drive this past July in support of the Hopewell Valley Mobile Food Pantry!

Every donation helps us provide groceries to local families, and your generosity is a wonderful reminder of what can be accomplished when a community comes together. With over 500 bags of groceries distributed each week, our pantry shelves empty quickly. Food drives like this make a real difference and help ensure we can continue serving our neighbors in need.

Interested in organizing a food drive with your neighborhood, school, business, or community group? We'd love to partner with you! Visit our website to view our most needed items, or contact us at [email protected] to arrange a donation.

[Sorry about the background noise!]

This is Carl Sebestyen, our neighbor in the Hopewell Valley, who has been serving as the shift leader for Saturday Grab-and-Go for the past couple of years. Carl started volunteering because his son wanted to volunteer, and he found the work enjoyable and meaningful. As a new volunteer, you'll work with other community members, give out bags, and support our mission of ensuring our community has the resources they need.
