A Year-end Update
Published on December 17, 2022 by Rachael Ketterer

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed their funds, time, and energy to the pantry this year! Our monetary contributors, drivers, and neighbors who stop by to check in and drop off food all keep the pantry running. We hit one year of operation in 2022!

We joined Open Collective in the spring of this year and it's allowed us to provide food and supplies a bit more frequently than we were able to last year. Every contribution helps! If you'd like to make an additional year-end contribution or becoming a monthly contributor we would be grateful.

We're also thankful to have the support of drivers who pick up from Sharing Excess in West Philly. The organization rescues food which helps us fill the pantry on the weekends. Our dedicated team of drivers share their Saturday mornings and organize the pantry. If you'd like to sign up for a winter 2023 driving slot, check out the link below!

Our biggest need for the rest of December and January is neighbors checking on the pantry. Many people will be traveling, but if you know you’ll be in town during late December and early January, we would really appreciate you picking a day to make sure the pantry looks good! Dropping off some items is not necessary but would be appreciated too.

Hope you enjoy the holidays and winter season!  Have a safe and happy new year.
