We would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who assisted us in providing Easter dinners to our community. We had the opportunity to serve multiple new clients, as well as families who have been utilizing our services for an extended period. We are already witnessing the impact of the recent government changes to federal feeding programs. As a result, support from community members will be even more crucial moving forward.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the 3rd-5th grade students at Johnsburg Elementary School for their remarkable food drive contribution to our pantry last Tuesday. The teachers organized a large school bus, and with the assistance of the 5th graders, loaded over 30 plus large boxes of donations. The students then accompanied the teachers on the bus, delivering the boxes directly to our pantry, where they unloaded and stocked the shelves. Following the delivery, we provided a tour and discussion on the operations of our pantry. It was a pleasure hosting the students, and we appreciate their dedication to supporting those in need within our community. Thank you, and God bless you all!
