COMMUNITY PANTRY

Community pantry opens up outside of local church

PRINCE GEORGE–There’s a new community pantry outside of Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church.

It’s not the first time the church has done this, but now they’ve set up a fridge and a cabinet that’s stocked up with food.

Fresh food such as eggs and milk are available, along with non-perishables like pasta and canned soup. People who need food can take what the need and leave what they can. The church is also accepting donations.

The pantry is going to be open through August but may extend it to the fall and winter months depending how well it does.

“What this is, is space for the community. It’s open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have food items available for people that might be challenged by food insecurity, they’re welcomed to stop by no questions asked, anonymously and take what they need.” said Kathie Scouten, Volunteer at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church
