COVID 19 Relief Fund
Since the COVID 19 crisis, our food pantry has been extremely busy. Families already living paycheck to paycheck are losing their jobs. Your donation can help a family experiencing food insecurity due to the COVID 19 crisis. Donations are tax-deductible, and 100% of the funds collected will be spent on direct relief with no administrative charges.
