Pantry of Angels celebrated its 10th
anniversary in April of 2014. Residents
of Lindley and Caton are our clients.
The Pantry is open every Thursday
(except major holidays) from 4:30 TO 5:30 p.m., serving fresh produce and baked
goods. On the 2nd and 4th
weeks of each month, staple foods are
also available. Nutritional goods from
all of the food groups are available to those who come or call for food
assistance and, in many cases, delivery.
2014 was yet another year of growth in clientele and food
distributed for the Pantry of Angels. 9,252
food bundles were distributed, each being at least a 3 day supply for an
individual. Households served totaled
3,026. These numbers are up from 7,590
and 2,355, respectively, in 2013. In
2014, 133 food insecure families with 444 individuals received services, compared
to 119 families with 402 individuals in 2013.
Calls for emergency food were received 31 times, comprising 170
individuals, versus 22 families with 78 individuals in 2013. (Non-residents are
then referred to their local service agencies for ongoing support.)
In May, Pantry of Angels received a very coveted
award. Each year, the Food Bank of the
Southern Tier recognizes an agency that demonstrates noteworthy performance and
compassion in service of the hungry, through its “Member Agency of the Year ” award. The award winner is an agency, chosen from over
90 agencies in 6 counties, that is in
good standing and exhibits the following:
·
Increase in pounds distributed
·
Increase in people served
·
Active and engaged volunteers
·
Positive interactions with clients
·
Connections with outside groups
·
Commitment to ending hunger in their community
·
Willingness to partner with the Food Bank
This was a great recognition for all the volunteers who work so hard to
help those less fortunate in our community.
Many hours are spent each week collecting the food products, displaying
them for the distribution, packing for and delivering to those unable to
attend, restocking and inventorying items not used and cleaning up after the
distribution. Our volunteers are
awesome!
God has truly blessed us with all the tangible and intangible components
needed to maintain and grow this mission. He continues to watch over us and hold each
hand as we strive to serve Him and fulfill this need in our community.
