My Nonprofit Reviews

We were able to help a young man yesterday who due to very reduced work hours, had been living on the street the day before. He had called the Pantry seeking food assistance, but we were able to do so much more! We were able to refer him to another county non-profit who was able to place him in a local motel that same evening. I met and assisted him the next day when he was visiting the Pantry for the first time. He quietly, and apologetically, explained he only had a refrigerator and a microwave at the motel. We helped him make his food choices based on these factors. We also provided him with some bowls and plastic utensils to assist. He was so polite, grateful, and surprised to be receiving a large box of much needed food. He was a pleasure to work with. At the end of shift, I learned that having walked to the Pantry, he now had a heavy box to carry and one of our volunteers gave him a ride back to the motel. The Pantry volunteers and staff did an incredible job assisting this young man during cold weather and difficult circumstances. ~Proud to be Pantry Volunteer
