We rely on the generosity of our member congregations and kind-hearted individuals to cover the costs of the Pantry. The Pantry has no paid advertising, no fundraising expenses, and is staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers. In a review of the Pantry's $39,415 in expenses for 2024, 86% was spent on groceries, 8% on utilities, 4% on insurance and just 2% on other expenses (office supplies, maintenance, etc). This breakdown is consistent with spending in other years.

The Pantry is always seeking and thankful for donations from individuals.
