We Give More than Food
We Hope to Give Hope and Dreams
I am not at our food pantry on a regular basis, as I have so much going on on the days we are open, but I still have a passion for what we do. From the beginning, I knew that books would be part of the offerings, not just feeding people physically. Offering a book to a child or adult opens up a whole new world and a whole new perspective for them.
Regardless of age, every child should have books to read, and they should be encouraged to dream, so anyone is welcome to take a book home after getting their groceries. Feel free to come in for some food, some prayer, and a book or two to call your own, because I am a firm believer that not only do we need to feed our bodies, but we also need to feed our minds and spirits.
Don’t forget we’re not here to judge, but to offer a hand up, not a handout. Our goal is to nourish your body, mind, and spirit in times of hardship.
