2025 Year -End Summary
A rich History
In 2010, 25 dedicated volunteers saw a need to provide for the hungry, then got together to set up and operate a pantry out of a small office.
By 2012, the pantry expanded into an attached three-car garage. Out of this garage, 10 families were served twice a week, and 10 weekend Backpack food bags were provided twice a month to a local school. Many modifications were made in this space to help put hope back on the table for local families.
2017 brought a move to a new, much bigger location on the campus of Whitewater Crossing Christian Church. The new location, with a walk-in freezer, coolers and lots of shelving, allows fresh meat, produce and other pantry items to be offered.
In 2018, the pantry began a Mobile Pantry, taking food out to two communities once a month.
New partnerships continue to be formed, significantly increasing the number of families served and opportunities offered.
An all-volunteer board leads the Community Pantry, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
