We rely on the generosity of our member congregations and kind-hearted individuals to cover the costs of the Pantry. The Pantry is staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers. The Pantry has no paid advertising or fundraising expenses. In a review of the Pantry's $15,864 in expenses for 2013, 82% was spent on groceries, 9% on utilities and 9% on other expenses (insurance, postage, etc). This breakdown is consistent with spending in other years.
The Pantry is always seeking and thankful for donations from individuals.
