FEEDING THOSE IN NEED

From your heart to their home

Metrocrest Services’ Food Pantry clients are hardworking parents trying to feed their children, seniors living on a fixed income, and multigenerational families living in one household. What do they have in common? They struggle with food insecurity.

Many clients don’t know how they’ll pay for groceries or whether the items they can afford will stretch to feed everyone at the table. With more than 900 families visiting our pantry every week, we need your help to keep our pantry filled so we can fill theirs.

As you do your grocery shopping, consider purchasing a few nonperishable items (like soup and peanut butter) and essential hygiene supplies (like toothpaste and toilet paper) for your neighbors in need.
