There are three ways to support The Pantry of Hope financially:
Direct financial donations either one time or monthly
Purchasing items on our Amazon Wishlists
Kroger Community Rewards
Pantry of Hope provides food for 200+ families (twice per month). Some of our food and items are donated. Some of our food is provided to us for free from Gleaners Food Bank or from Second Helpings. But the majority of our food we provide is purchased from Gleaners Food Bank at a discounted rate. However, to supply nutritious meals, we spend approximately $2,000 per month.
Most of our funds to purchase this food comes from the following sources:
Rise Church, donates monthly!
We hold our annual fundraiser.
