As temperatures fall, our community’s need for food and emergency financial assistance increases. Here are the totals for the past month:
During the month of November, the NEEDS pantry provided food to 105 families – for a total of 385 people! This is over 60 more people than the previous month.
NEEDS also provided emergency financial assistance to nine families, distributing $3480.33 to cover rent and utilities.
The NEEDS food pantry has been very busy this fall. As the weather gets colder, requests for food and emergency assistance are likely to increase. Here are the numbers served for the past month:
During the month of October, NEEDS provided food to 87 families – for a total of 323 people!
NEEDS also provided emergency financial assistance to seven families, distributing $2887.69 to cover rent and utilities.
NEEDS has continued to be busy during the past several weeks, with requests for food and emergency assistance both remaining steady. Here are this month’s numbers:
During the month of September, the NEEDS pantry provided food to 100 families – for a total of 324 people!
NEEDS also provided emergency financial assistance to 11 families, distributing a total of $3923.49 to cover rent and utilities.
The NEEDS pantry continues to be busy. It’s not unusual for us to have cars waiting in our drive-through when we open, and we often serve as many as 16 families in a day. However, the early fall is one of the most difficult times to keep the pantry stocked, as schools and businesses often don’t plan food drives until closer to Thanksgiving.
Would you like to help stock the pantry for the fall and winter? Please check out the list of most-needed items below.
