When Does $1 = $30?
When it's donated to the Partnership Food Pantry!
Through our strategic relationships with such agencies as Save Virtues, Good Shepherd Food Bank, National Emergency Response Team, The United States Department of Agriculture and many other great partners, we are able to receive food at greatly reduced costs.
We frequently are able to receive food at NO cost, just the cost of fuel. Other times we pay 16 cents per pound for "reclamation", foods in slightly damaged packaging or out of date but still nutritious and healthy. And when all else fails we sometimes have to pay full retail to assure a steady supply of good food for the poor and working poor in our service area.
Your tax deductible donation helps us to keep our service and delivery vehicles on the road, the phone and light bill paid and to cover the cost of helping to feed one of the most impoverished populations in America.
