Garage of Blessings

The Pantry of Blessings offers more than pantry staples like rice, pasta, and beans, it offers everyday ESSENTIALS for basic human care. The goal of the Pantry of Blessings is to reduce food insecurity, foster community health and provide dignified access to basic human care. 

 

​The Pantry program continues to grow significantly thanks to our generous community who provide financial support and tangible goods. While items in the pantry vary week to week depending on donations and seasonal availability, Jayne and her team work tirelessly to make sure each neighbor finds the support they need. Often, Jayne and her team make up blessing bags filled with delicious and healthy treats for the children who shop with their parents. 

​
