Knead & Nourish Community Pantry

11/02/2026

This is what neighbors helping neighbors looks like.

We’re so grateful to Simply Dance for organizing a community food drive benefiting Knead & Nourish this November! Thank you to Delaney and the Simply Dance community for welcoming our pantry into your holiday giving.

As we prepare to help local families with Thanksgiving meals while keeping our everyday pantry shelves stocked, this support means so much. Every donation helps us put food into the hands of neighbors facing financial hardship right here in our community.

📍 Drop off at Simply Dance
🗓 November 9–20
⏰ Monday–Thursday, 4–8 PM

They’re collecting pantry staples, Thanksgiving sides, breakfast foods, juice boxes, and individually packaged kids’ snacks all things our families can use!

You don’t have to be a dance family to participate this drive is open to the community. Please share their post, spread the word, or pick up a few extra items on your next grocery trip. It all adds up.

Behind the scenes of Halloween essentials

11/02/2026

Over 30 families supported this weekend! One year of neighbors helping neighbors. So much to be grateful for.

This Halloween weekend, Knead & Nourish shared detergent, toilet paper, diapers, cleaning supplies, hygiene products, and more with over 30 families and welcomed our very first trick-or-treaters! 🎃

A special thank-you to my neighbor Lisa for the goodie bags, to Shirly Myrlevna and her daughter for treat bags full of fun stuff and for knitted stuffed animals, and handmade gifts that were such a hit!

And a heartfelt thank-you to a very generous donor whose kindness helped fill so many families’ bags with much-needed hygiene and laundry essentials. Your support means more than you know.

To our family and friends who helped bring everything together Kelly & Kathy, who helped sort and pack thank you for the time, love, and work behind the scenes that make days like this possible.

To everyone who shopped our wish lists, dropped off donations, contributed funds, or lent a hand: you helped make this happen. To the families who trust us: thank you for being part of our community.

One year in, we’re grateful for every connection made and every neighbor we’ve been able to help. 🧡

We tried to capture as much as we could, but when our hands are busy packing, stocking, and helping families, taking photos often comes last. These pictures are just a glimpse of all the care, generosity, and work that goes into what happens here. 🧡

Next up: Thanksgiving! We’re beginning our collection and will also be looking for Christmas sponsors to help fulfill local families’ wish lists. More details on both and ways to help are coming soon!

The pantry has been restocked! It’s a little lighter this week as we work on building our donation supply back up, but there are still food and everyday essentials available for neighbors who need them.

If you’re able to help, donations are always needed via Walmart , Amazon or PayPal/venom

🎃 don’t forget our Halloween celebration THIS SATURDAY, October 31, from 4–7 PM!

Knead & Nourish can really use our community’s help this week.

The pantry was restocked this morning with what we have available, but our backup supplies are running very low. We need donations to keep replenishing the shelves as families visit throughout the week.

If you’ve been thinking about donating, now would be a wonderful time. Our biggest needs are

Canned vegetables

Cereal

Peanut butter

Kids’ applesauce pouches

Milk and juice boxes

Toliet paper/ paper towels

We could use a few final bags of Halloween candy, too! 🎃

Monetary donations are especially needed right now. They help us purchase the groceries we’re running out of, keep the fridge stocked, and finish the last few essentials bags for families signed up for Halloween. Even $5 or $10 helps us fill those gaps.

💛 Venmo / PayPal: Kneadnourishpantry

I’m also updating our Amazon and Walmart wish lists for anyone who prefers to send items directly.

🦃 Beginning November 1, we’ll start collecting for Thanksgiving meals. If you, your business, or a group would like to help provide a holiday meal for a local family, please reach out so we can plan together.

Thank you to everyone who continues to show up for our neighbors. This pantry depends on community support, and we’re grateful for every donation and every share.
