“This year pantry volunteers will be on hand to discuss the workings of the pantry and will display the food items that are distributed to the pantry guests the first and third Monday of each month, which are the days the pantry is open,” Nicholls added. “The pantry has seen an increase in the number of guests and is serving almost 200 families in need each month.”
