Some of our wonderful volunteer warriors at the Drury Lane food trade show. We are so lucky to have these folks. Loving Zack in the hat! RoseAnne looking absolutely fabulous, 4 of the 5 Pecoraro brothers and some goofy old man. Not pictured but equally fantastic are Jack,Marcelo, Megan, Jeanne, Larry and Peter who waited for us at the pantry. Hope I didn’t forget anyone! We recovered 10’s of thousands of lbs from this trade show. God bless us everyone

While this is not in our area, it is a concern. As food availability and affordability decreases, this can easily become anyone’s neighborhood. However, The Itasca food pantry is not in any immediate danger of closing and that is because of you in the community!!! And if you’re interested in donating, we are looking for canned fruits. Any kind. Thanks for all you do.

After 20 years of serving surrounding communities, a popular Minnesota pantry that distributes food to families in need is closing, effective immediately. FULL STORY: bit.ly/4m7xBXu

Thank you to the Asian American Alliance from Lake Park High School for putting the food back on the new shelves!

Our shared commitment to supporting families in need will make a substantial impact!

The pantry team has been working hard all month as we prepared to replace 3 sets of shelving!

On Saturday, Vincenzo, Rosario, Antonio, and Evan stayed after hours and took down the old shelving unit and put up the new shelves.

Thanks for your hard work on this special improvement project!
