The choice between buying food and buying medicine

One of the best things about our Pantry is the bond that forms between our clients and volunteers. Each month, our volunteers spend half an hour listening and learning from our clients as they shop. They swap recipes, share family stories and become personally invested in each others lives. As one volunteer states, "we see hardworking people make the choice between buying medicine or food, purchasing diapers or food and paying rent or buying groceries." 

Our Pantry is about so much more than just food, we pride ourselves on fostering an empathetic, dignified environment where volunteers, as well as clients, benefit from each other.
