The Pantries Involved

What Keeps a Pantry Running
A food pantry runs on a simple cycle: food comes in, gets sorted, and goes back out to the people who need it. Every step depends on someone. Donated goods have to be collected. Shelves have to be checked and restocked. Someone has to be there on distribution days to hand out what the pantry has.
Demand changes too. A lost job, a large medical bill, or a car repair at the wrong time can send a household to a pantry for the first time. A pantry with steady support can respond when that happens. A pantry running on whatever trickles in often cannot.
Three Ways to Pitch In
Come to a Fundraiser
Council 3511 raises funds through activities and events, including BBQs, and those funds go toward its charitable work. Showing up is a real contribution. Dates are listed on the

Part of a Larger Effort
Groceries are one need among several. The council's
maternity care program focuses on mothers and newborns. Both programs are described side by side on the
