The Pantry Cereal Drive
Because Breakfast Does Not Take The Summer Off!
 
Pantry donations significantly drop in the summer and we need your help! During the month of June, we are focusing our efforts on one of the most needed items at  The Pantry - cereal. Breakfast does not take the summer off and neither do we! Let's come together for a common cause to end summer hunger.
