The NEEDS pantry is entering the most challenging months of the year. Summer means the end of the school year, and the end of kids’ subsidized school breakfasts and lunches. That leaves more mouths to feed at home. We also lose the support of the schools that regularly hold food drives for the pantry. Other regular donors are away on vacation. Our shelves will soon need to be replenished!
