Woodstock Pantry
Woodstock Pantry Build Project
We are transforming the Woodstock Pantry into a sustainable food source for our community!
Hunger in Our Community
- In a recent household survey conducted by the US Census Bureau, more than 26 million Americans said they did not have enough to eat.
- We see that need right here in our own community. Since 2020, we’ve served our neighbors with more than 20,000 bags of groceries.
- Demand for food at the Woodstock Pantry has increased 102% since February 22.
We Need Your Help To Meet This Need
While we responded to the pandemic, we operated out of a temporary container. Now, to transform the Woodstock Pantry into a sustainable food source for our community, we need a permanent structure. We’ve been awarded four grants and gifted with generous donations. However, we are still short of our funding goal.
You can help fight food insecurity in our neighborhood by helping us fund our new pantry facility.
