Food Pantry

The Mendon Food Pantry recently received a generous donation from the youth of St. Michael's Church following their week long summer camp. Coordinator MaryLou Siple and the youth volunteers organized the purchase and donation of school snacks, cereals and juices for children, by children with the proceeds from their week long camp. Food Pantry Coordinator Carol Kotros and pantry volunteers were pleasantly overwhelmed by the donation.

Mia, age 6, received food pantry donations as gifts at her recent birthday party. With the help of her mom and sister, the trio stocked the gifts onto the shelves of the Mendon Food Pantry.

Boy Scout troops in Mendon worked to fill the shelves of our Food Pantry. Thanks to the troops!		The Clough School Kindergarten children made up two baskets of food for the Mendon Food Pantry to distribute to families in need for Thanksgiving.
