Helping the hungry at the holidays Longtime Putnam County Food Pantry volunteer Jan Schuster helps keep everything orderly in the pantry located in the basement of Granville’s United Church of Christ. Schuster is just one of many volunteers from Bureau and Putnam counties who work year-round to help make sure families in our area don’t go hungry in times of need. With the holidays fast approaching, now is a great time to visit your local food pantry with a donation. Most food pantries in the area are working to prepare a Thanksgiving feast as well as a Christmas basket for families/individuals who find themselves down on their luck at this time of the year. Any and all donations are always welcome. All food products must have a good expiration date. And don’t forget personal care items, which are always welcomed by pantries and patrons alike. Items for infants, babies and toddlers are also much appreciated. As always, cash donations are welcomed, since the food pantries are able to buy food in bulk at very reduced prices. Rest assured your financial donation will go toward buying a lot of groceries to feed a lot of people. Unsure what to donate? Why not visit your local food pantry and ask. The ebb and flow of products on the shelves varies, so volunteers at your local pantry will be able to tell you exactly what the most current need are to help feed the hungry in your area.
