Your local food pantries will never turn away donations of food, hygiene items, or money. Today for #SundayService contact your local food pantries and find out what their needs are and then go collecting!
Just so you have an idea of how far a dollar stretches at a food pantry versus some box store grocery store, check out this visual:
I read an article earlier this year that gave some insight about "those people" who need to use the food pantry services. So before you go collecting and filling up a food pantry please read this article from someone who has needed and used a food pantry. I hope it will open your eyes, as it did mine, to the kinds of foods people who use the services would appreciate. Perhaps it will even change your mind about the kinds of people who need the service food pantries provide.
There's a lot of hunger in the world, let's start to ease it today by reaching those closest to us.
