PiOG, is there a food pantry.....

[powow65]

in your area (IE: city, county, state)?

[othermom]

Yes, there are actually 3 in the area. The main food pantry, a small one that helps only one day a week for a few hours, then one on the reservation I think. We also have the salvation Army that does free lunch 5 days a week, another church does a meal on saterday, and a lady I know does a sunday breakfast through another church on sunday. We live in a town of about 17000

[bookworm14]

Yeah there's a few. There's also an organization that will collect fresh leftovers from restaurants and such, that can't be reused but is still good. And serves to those in need.

If there is I have no clue where it is

[Mrs.Pool2Be]

I am sure there is but I have no idea where it is but there is a thrift store here that will help people with food, clothes and money to help pay utilities.  I always donate my stuff to them because of the fact that they do help out the community.

that is so sweet! (i've noticed this one pantry my dad goes daily & they help out yearly.) & IMO, i think thats wonderful for the very poor to go. (they ARE WONDERFUL PEOPLE!)

Quoting midnghtsprnkle:

Yep , infact my church does a family day once a month , where the kids come to church , have their own sermon, they all bring food in to be collected for the local food pantry, then they go to their classes...

We usually have between 4-5 laundry baskets full of food to give to the local food pantry...
