Description:
This food pantry is more than food and we work with anyone from any community as we know needs can not be based on address.. We do animal learn and care programs, translation from Spanish to English classes and English to Spanish classes as well as sign language classes, free outdoor movie nights, Christmas for 400 Children each year, Halloween haunts for the children, Easter events, clean out hoarder homes, free clothing, hygiene and make friends. We could sit here and say "oh, all is well in the little gray building on the corner" but that would be untrue. As a small nonprofit you could imagine the struggles we face. From raising money to pay the rent and bills to raising money to buy the food we share. So long story cut short, when you think about making a donation, remember the smaller nonprofits without the big fancy name because they too are doing large things everyday within the community. Thank you. We are a 501(c)(3) in need of smart, strong willed, witty, intelligent, no bull taking kind of person to stand up against the bully's in our community within the larger nonprofits. Bully's who have attempted to destroy the pay it forward nonprofit for 2 years. We can not sustain the 1000's we feed each month without some help.
