Hey, neighbors. Did you know that there is a Little Free Pantry in the parking lot of the church? It was built by Eagle Scout Josh Schwartz. In this time when so many families are being cut off from food assistance, the pantry is in great need of food. If you can help out, please drop off your food donations anytime, 24/7. If the pantry is full, please use the overflow bin located below the pantry.
