Thank You, Church of the Saviour!


Our pantry coordinators shared this note of appreciation to Church of the Saviour United Methodist Church, one of NEEDS’ member organizations:

“What a surprise! Kathy and Dennis Anderson mentioned that they would be bringing in some non-perishable food items collected by members of Church of the Saviour. But little did we expect two car loads! On behalf of everyone here at the NEEDS pantry, please accept our warmest thanks. We especially appreciated the large reusable bags that the items arrived in. Already, many of the items donated over the holidays have disappeared — distributed to the many families asking for our help each week. Your donation will help replenish our shelves.”

NEEDS is so grateful to all of our member organizations for their ongoing support.

Thank You, Twin Lakes!


Twin Lakes Retirement Community staff and residents are longtime supporters of NEEDS. Our pantry coordinators shared this note of thanks for the community’s recent donation:

“What a wonderful Super Bowl pep rally you threw for the residents of Twin Lakes! They really seemed to be having a good time. And for yet another year, our NEEDS pantry was the beneficiary of all the non-perishable food donated by residents. All of us here at NEEDS are so grateful for the community’s ongoing support. It helps us meet the emergency food needs of our neighbors. We look forward to continuing to work together!”

Current Pantry Needs

This month, our top need is laundry detergent.

Other much-needed items include:
Vienna sausages
Canned collard greens
