On Saturday, April 2, the Garretson Food Pantry is inviting the community to come to an Open House to learn more about the valuable programs they provide, such as the Backpack Program that serves over twenty children and families in the Garretson School District.
The community has provided an incredible amount of support to the pantry over the years, and the volunteers want to express their appreciation. They will be offering coffee and Eileen's Colossal Cookies for free to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Bringing a pantry donation is encouraged, such as boxes of cereal. They go through 30 boxes of cereal per week alone, most of which go towards the Backpack Program recipients.
The pantry has recently purchased an upright freezer, and have been given a generous offer to buy items such as cheese and sausages in bulk for a discounted price.
Food donations are always accepted at Garretson Food Center and the Treasure Chest.
Let's share the love and stock the shelves at the Garretson Food Pantry!
