I had been going for a couple years. Stopped for a while because my mom left me some money when she died. It was only a couple thousand but it was enough to pick up the slack like the pantry did for me. Went back a couple weeks ago. The amount of food I got was nothing near of what I used to get. It was one real small box. I have to drive quiet always and most of the time using all the five dollars I have left for gas. Then I get there and they are now asking me to donate money. I do appreciate the help really I do but I feel bad and guilty if they are asking me for money. I’ll just not go. I’ll have to find another way.

Maximum effort to feed those who are experiencing difficulty in providing nourishment for their families. Adjacent clothing shop and 3 Pups Pet Pantry to round out needed supplies.

Guy directing traffic was really rude. Especially to someone who had never been there before. He was tall had a beard and mustache that was grayish.Sad I live in Capron, and this is the guy serving the people who have fallen on hard times...

This is the BEST PANTRY out there!! Love this place!!! The people are so nice n patient!!! They have helped me survive many times!!! Just wish they wasn't so hard to get to. It's really hard to get there when I have no car or gas money to give someone to take me.

I went there for the covid booster shot. I had to circle around a few times to find a parking spot. The food pantry was open and there was a huge line of cars waiting to p/u food.
