Knead & Nourish Community Pantry

06/17/2026

We Knead & Nourish Community Pantry are so incredibly grateful for the donations we’ve received recently. Thanks to some amazing donors, the pantry is currently stocked with a good amount of snacks and shelf-stable items.

We are doing our best to restock the pantry throughout the weekdays, but items are going quickly. To help make sure as many families as possible are able to receive support, please be mindful of what you take and only take what you need for the moment. You are always welcome to come back another day, and if you are in need of something specific, please message us.

This weekend, we will also have **milk, eggs, toilet paper, and packages of Perdue Short Cuts available while supplies last!

At the moment, our most urgent needs are:

**Deodorant**
**Shampoo**
**Soap / body wash**
**Paper towels**
** toddler food/ snacks**

We’ve also had a lot of inquiries about the meal program. I would love to continue offering meals, but in order to do that consistently, we do need support specifically for meal items. The most helpful donations for that are:
Venmo, PayPal
or ShopRite/ACME/walmart gift cards
since it allows me to purchase exactly what is needed and avoid ending up with too much of one item and not enough of another.

For anyone who would prefer to make a monetary donation, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and donation receipts can be provided upon request.

Thank you all so much for continuing to show up for this community. Every donation, share, and kind word truly helps. As always neighbors helping neighbors

Hi everyone I’m sharing this for Rachel, a member of our community who reached out for help.

Rachel is facing serious ongoing medical issues that have made it difficult for her to work and manage daily life. She has been going through extensive testing, treatments, hospital visits, and specialist care, and is fundraising for medical costs, transportation, and basic living expenses during this time.

I’ve spoken with Rachel directly, and she has offered verification of the fundraiser. As always, please use your own judgment, but I wanted to share in case anyone is able to help, donate, or simply pass this along.

We Knead & Nourish Community Pantry are a little behind on posting, but we wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone who helped make this past weekend possible. Because of the community, we were able to get out to taco kits with works and rice to 15 families, hand out bags with essentials like milk, eggs, and more, and keep the pantry stocked.

For this weekend, we will have milk and eggs available for pickup on Sunday. If you need to come Saturday, please message us first so we can try to arrange it!
we’re hosting a birthday party, so Sunday will be the main pickup day.
The pantry will also be fully stocked this week with grab-and-go items, diapers, household essentials, and more. However, we did not receive enough donations to provide a full meal this weekend.

As always, donations are so appreciated and go directly back into helping local families. Whether it’s food, household items, diapers, toiletries, or a monetary donation, every bit helps us keep showing up for our community.
Thank you all for continuing to support the pantry and the families who depend on it. ❤️

I am truly blown away.

After sharing that our pantry shelves were getting low, our community showed up. I haven’t even had a chance to fully sort through everything yet, but so far we’ve received such a generous haul of pantry staples, snacks, drinks, hygiene items, and household essentials.

Every single item helps us support another family.

This is exactly how Knead & Nourish Community Pantrykeeps going not because of one person, but because of a community that chooses to help carry the need together.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared the post, sent items from the Amazon list, dropped things off, or reached out to help. It means more than I can explain, and it will go directly back out to local families.

We are still accepting donations as the need continues to grow, especially with school ending soon and kids home more during the day. Our most-needed items continue to be easy meals, canned proteins, juice boxes, shelf-stable milk, kids’ snacks, paper goods, diapers, wipes,deodorant, and body wash.

Thank you for helping us keep these shelves filled and families supported.

With so much love Lauren 💕

This is our pantry right now.

I’m going to be honest we’re struggling to keep the shelves stocked, and the need keeps growing. As we get closer to the end of the school year and warmer weather, more parents are reaching out because they need help keeping food and basic essentials in the house for their kids.

we've been filling gaps with our own money when we can, but we can’t keep doing it alone. We’re still waiting to hear back from larger stores. organizations and local farms about assistance and donations, but in the meantime, we need community help now.

We are currently very low on:

Cups of noodles
Pasta sauce
Pasta
Canned proteins: tuna, chicken, beans, Spam, etc.
Juice boxes
Kids’ snacks
Shelf-stable milk
Paper towels
Toilet paper
Wipes
Deodorant
Body wash

Donations do not have to be money. Anything helps.

You can help by ordering from our Amazon wish list, dropping off pantry items, donating a store gift card, sharing this post!

Even one pack of juice boxes, one jar of sauce, or a few snack items can help another family.

Knead & Nourish Community Pantry was started to support local families with dignity, nourishment, and care. I’m only one person, but I know this community can help carry it with me.

Thank you for helping us keep going.
