FOR YOUR SUPPORT The People’s Pantry thanks all our friends who have kept the pantry strong and enabled us to provide our neighbors with nutritious food throughout the year.

To the hundreds of financial supporters, to all those who supply food (including local farmers, home gardeners, retailers, and those who donate via food drives), to the many volunteers who serve our shoppers and keep the pantry running smoothly, and to all the community organizations with which we partner: We could never thank you all by name, but you are in our thoughts, in our hearts, and in every shopping bag that leaves the pantry full of food for a household facing food insecurity.

With best wishes for a year of sharing with our community, Your friends at The People’s Pantry

This handsome boy with the go-go attitude is Lucky. Lucky is a 2-year-old pit bull terrier mix who seeks the finer things in life. He’s a playful and active boy who would enjoy hikes with an energetic adopter; one who is willing and eager to work on training and obedience classes with him. Lucky is smart, food motivated and loves to learn, which will make him the perfect candidate for higher education. His energy abounds so a home with adults only would be best. Lucky also tends to be a bit dog selective and may do best as the only dog in the home as well. If you’re looking for one-on-one companionship, perhaps this brindle boy is the dog for you?
