Happy Thursday Mighty Mathews! Thank you to everyone contributing to the Good News Pantries.
Just a friendly reminder please do not put glass or outdated items in the pantries. If you would like to leave sugar, flour, or other baking goods, please put them in a sealed bag/container as we are having some trouble with ants. Please do not over stuff the pantries with duplicate products. The pantries are small and we would like to have a variety of foods in each. If you find a pantry already has what you would like to donate, please consider placing those items in another pantry or taking them to Hands Across Mathews.
Thank you for helping feed our community!

Please note, the Locust Grove pantry is iced in and not really safe access, unless you are an olympic ice skater😉. We will try to melt the ice around it and restock it soon. If you need food and are unable to get to one of the other pantries, please message us.
