People's Pantry Food Drive - Final Calls!

Bring In Your Bags This Week!



Time is running out to fill up your bags for the food drive! Each Caring Hands member should have received a reusable bag from their class leaders to fill with non-perishable foods. We would like to re-collect all of the bags by April 5th. Each bag collected will be worth one hour of volunteer time. Members must label EVERY SINGLE one of their bags with their names to receive credit.


If multiple friends and neighbors can donate 2-3 items each, the burden of filling the bag is not on just one family.

What is the People's Pantry?

The People's Pantry of Malvern supports those families with food insecurity right here in the 19355 zip code area. With nearly 100 student volunteers signed up for Caring Hands, reaching out to all of their friends and neighbors, we can get the entire GV community involved!
