Did you know Swisher has a Little Food Pantry outside the Swisher Library? Thanks to the Swisher Men’s Club, a local nonprofit, the pantry has recently expanded and now includes space for refrigerated items.

If you’re needing a little extra help, please stop by. And if you have items to donate, your generosity makes a huge difference in our community. ❤️

⭐️The world is a better place because of those who volunteer, and we are grateful for everyone who helps keep this pantry going.
