The Amazing Grace Food Pantry has put out a Red Alert that their supplies are unusually low and demand is up. Families in need are eligible to visit once a month to receive food. Last July, 660 families visited the pantry, but this July that number was up to 870 families, and their cupboards are looking bare.
Stop by the pantry at 139 Main Street Extension and donate the following healthy items:
Soup
Cereal
Canned Tuna
Peanut Butter
Canned Fruit and Vegetables
Drop-off times are Mon-Wed-Fri, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Saturdays 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Thanks to the United Way for getting this information out there!

Thanks, Jen. Amazing Grace is really a community food pantry - we are a program of "families feeding families." And yes, the pantry is really bare. We like to offer a choice of items for those who shop, and when we're this low, we don't have much to choose from. Thanks to United Way for helping to spread the word, and thanks to all of you who are able to share some food over the next few weeks with the growing number of folks who need some help to stretch their monthly budgets just a little bit further.
