Important Announcement:

Revised Food Distribution Policy

To our valued community members,

We are writing to inform you about an important update regarding our food distribution program. Due to an increase in demand, rising expenses, and a significant decrease in the food supply across our network, we have had to make a difficult decision regarding the distribution of food boxes.

Starting August 1, 2023, each household will only be eligible to receive one food box per month from The H.E.L.P. Pantry. We understand that this change may cause inconvenience and disappointment for some individuals, and we want to assure you that this decision was not taken lightly. By implementing this policy change, we will be able to serve a larger number of people who require essential food support.

Our primary goal as a social impact organization has always been to ensure that resources are accessible to those facing economic hardships and food insecurity. during these challenging times while also ensuring the sustainability of our operations.

And as always, please consider donating to the food bank. For every dollar donated, we can provide 3 meals.

Thank you in advance for your grace, compassion, and patience with us as we navigate through this transition.

In Community,
