Free Food Pantries
In response to the escalating need for accessible and affordable food options amidst soaring food prices, our focus is on diligently filling free food pantries twice a week. This crucial service is designed to ensure that families and individuals facing financial hardships have uninterrupted access to essential food supplies. Distributed across several locations in Chatham, including upcoming sites, our initiative is driven by a community-wide effort to combat food insecurity and prevent anyone from skipping meals due to economic constraints.
