Rising Tide, said the pantry was chosen because the fight against hunger is important to him and his staff. “The fact that there are people who are working to pull together and feed over 50 families on a regular basis stuck out to us,” Farrell said.

For example, customers are charged 10 cents for every bag they need, which goes directly to the chosen charity. When they bring their own bags,
Rising Tide chips in 10 cents per bag for the charity. The money helps the charity keep serving those in need, Farrell said. Ann Albro, the Villa g e Church’s outreach coordinator and trustee, said she and the other pantry volunteers were honored by Rising Tide’s recognition. Acknowledgments like this, she said, has helped the pantry succeed over the years.
