WE NEED VOLUNTEER HELP! If you are available during the mornings or early afternoon on Monday, (and sometimes Tuesday) we have trucks coming with food to be unloaded. We have two trucks coming tomorrow - 9/21/26 and likely next week as well. This begins as early as 9 AM. If you can help, please message and we will get back to you with details. ~ OR ~ You can just show up at the pantry at 10:30 AM Mondays or 9:30 AM Tuesdays, and there will be plenty for you to do. Very few cases weigh more than 28 pounds, and if you can't lift, you can unbox cases and fill shelves.

Grateful shoutout to No Kings Springfield for kicking off our Fall Food Drive season! Their Labor Day weekend drive filled an entire 4-door pickup with 550 lbs of donations — more than we expected and exactly what our pantry needs.

Where would we be without groups willing to do food drives for us? No Kings Springfield held our first fall food drive. We are ever so grateful that they have chosen our pantry to support! By the time they finished, not only the truck bed, but all the space available inside this four-door pickup was...

Fall sports brings us together! Nothing like simple dishes to enjoy with family and friends.

Years back we had a college student who loved to snack on buffalo chicken dip.

She got three simple ingredients from the pantry each week. (At the time we stocked)

Can chicken 🐔
Cream Cheese 🥯
Hot Sauce (any favorite will do)

Served with Crackers … all it takes to eat well is a little creativity and smart shopping. 🛍️

One peachy favorite, four delicious ways to bake it!

Start with juicy sliced peaches in a baking dish, then layer on your favorite cake mix and buttery topping. Add your twist—cinnamon streusel, toasted pecans and caramel, or creamy pockets of cream cheese. Bake until golden, bubbly, and beautifully crisp. Serve warm with a little whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and enjoy that cozy homemade dessert feeling.

We loved Dolly Parton for so many things: her big heart, her Grammy-award-winning music, the Christmas specials, and of course, her down-home, Southern cooking. Her savory recipes for stone soup and chicken and dumplings are comfort food favorites—easy to make, with flavors that please the whole family.

The Dolly Parton butterscotch pie caught my eye immediately. It has a smooth, creamy filling and pecans too. Unlike a traditional pecan pie, the nuts are used here to create a crunchy crust. | Get the recipe at the link in the comments ⬇️
