Cereal donations to food pantry

Ask and you shall receive!! That’s just what happened on Saturday, April 2nd when the Garretson Food Pantry held an Open House.  We asked the public to visit and donate cereal for the Pantry and the Backpack Program. We currently go through about 30 boxes a week between the two programs. We received the mountain of cereal you see in the above photo. Two hundred nine (209) boxes were donated. This is enough cereal for the rest of the school year for the backpack program and the food pantry.  The Garretson Food Pantry is totally self-funded by the generous support of our community. Thanks again for donating in a big way to our recent request!!
