PANTRY STAPLES WISH LIST
Many of our Food Pantry recipients are eligible for SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) benefits. The temporary boost to SNAP benefits put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic, known as emergency allotments, ended nationwide after the February 2023 issuance. The effects of these rollbacks mean families are stretching fewer dollars farther.
Our Food Pantry has experienced an increase in clients since February 2023 and, in order to meet their needs, we've put together a pantry staples WISH LIST. If you'd like to contribute, click HERE to view our Amazon list where you can purchase staples and have them sent directly to our pantry. Thank you for your consideration and LOVE!
