What our clients say
"Recently I came to the Pantry for food. It was an agonizing decision and one that
came out of desperation. I worried profusely about having to go to a pantry
for food and not knowing what to expect.
“When I arrived, everyone was kind.
I was overwhelmed. There was more food than I had seen in a very long time.
I started the day with a refrigerator full of air and ended the day with more food than
I could ever imagine.
“I want to thank everyone (vendors, donors, volunteers)
that make the pantry possible."
– Carol, Pantry Client, Woodridge
