We’re in a programming break until next week and have been doing some Spring Cleaning! One thing we need to deal with during this time is lots of left-over food items. We buy our groceries based on best estimates for attendance. But classes get canceled for weather or other reasons from time to time. What do we do with the leftovers? Maybe you have a lot of extra food in your pantry? Or maybe you’re in a stretch where you need some help stocking your pantry?
Thankfully, we have a diverse and strong community network of food resources as well as community partners that take food donations.
We’ve compiled a list below. To find the most up to date list, please visit: https://www.brafb.org/find-help/pantry-locator/. If you are searching for additional resources, the United Way compiles an annual list of where to turn for support here: https://unitedwaytja.org/receive-support/.
