We will be collecting the donations from the mail carriers, sorting out of date/damaged items and sort goods to be stored at the pantry.Last year, this drive collected over 20,000 canned goods. Because the food pantry is run entirely by volunteers, this drive could not happen without our support. If that were to happen, individuals, families and children would certainly go hungry.We will need volunteers from 1-5, 3-7, and 4-8. If you can only serve a portion of a shift, please do. All help will be appreciated. Please sign up at the following

Finally, all volunteers will need to complete pantry training. There will be a training class held at the pantry on Saturday at noon.
