Paoli Friends Food Pantry Project
Paoli Friends Food Pantry Project
The Paoli Friends Food Pantry Project is complete. At 8 in the morning on Thursday Oct 14th volunteers started out to pick up the new shelving carts and other started to prepare the food pantry room. By 6:30 that evening the last cans were placed in their spots. Volunteers from Community Inclusion Ambassadors, Paoli Friends Meeting, and Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana troop 6175 pulled together for this project that was made possible by the Amazon Gives program.
The Paoli Friends Food Pantry serves the community as an emergency food resource by helping to bridge times of food insecurity for families. The PFFP is operated by the Paoli Friends Meeting A Quaker Church with pastor Mark Tope coordinating the food pantry.
Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana Troop #6175 is planning a service project collecting items for the food pantry and we will share more information once the girl scouts have the service project ready.
