A MESSAGE FROM OUR PANTRY LEADERSHIP
We have had a record number of visits to our pantry so far in 2023. In April 2023 alone, we had 439 visits! Since January we have averaged over 400 visits every month, more than DOUBLE what saw prior to Covid. Although we work hard to keep our shelves stocked with a variety of nutritious food options for those we serve, it is becoming harder and harder to do so. God is always generous and always provides so that we send no one away hungry!
But we need your help! You can help us by donating pantry items through our Amazon wishlist (
found here), as well as by donating to help fund the Meijer Simply Give program that helps us buy additional needed groceries.
We still need more volunteers at our food pantry. We are in particular need of Spanish-speaking volunteers. We have a wonderful group of current volunteers who give of their time regularly. I honestly get embarrassed asking some of the same volunteers to help again and again when we need more assistance (you know who you are and I so appreciate your willingness to help!). With summer coming soon, many will have other activities and travel plans that will keep everyone busy so if you can commit to helping at least once per month please send an email to smgpantry@smgonline.org and we will get you information on how to sign up (you won’t regret it!), it is such a rewarding way to give back to those in need. Please contact us!
