December 2023: Pantry Builders Goal Reached!
We’re thrilled to announce that we have surpassed our $100,000 Pantry Builders Campaign goal, launched as part of an effort to find a new location to meet growing need. We’re profoundly grateful to the generous donors who support our vision for a new home that will allow us to feed the increasing numbers of people in our area experiencing food insecurity. “Our hearts are full of hope and determination as we venture into our fifth decade and look forward to a bright future in a new home,” said Pantry Director Linda Curtiss. We continue to welcome much-needed support for expenses related to a new location and hope you will include the Bradley Food Pantry in your year-end donations.
