Minnie's Food Pantry

Minnie's Food Pantry

Volunteers from Council 7850, both members and family, gather at Minnie’s Food Pantry on the first Wednesday of each month to provide assistance to staff for sorting donations from area vendors and packing boxes of miscellaneous food items for issue to needy families. The work starts at 0830 and lasts until 1130; however, its pays to arrive early to find a parking place! If you can make yourself available during this time, you are more than welcome to join us.

The event is well attended by our Knights and family members, as well as volunteers from other area businesses that allow their staff the time to participate. Organizations are normally identified by their logo T-Shirts representing their affiliation. Often, there are individual volunteers present who are not aligned with any organization.

All volunteers work side by side as one team to serve a common cause – fight hunger. The amount of needy families seems to be an ever-increasing number. We are fortunate to have responsive vendors to provide truckloads of pallets to fill Minnie’s warehouse.

Volunteers this month from l-r standing in back row are: Jimmy Dominguez, Terrell Landry, Mike Ray, Dick Belote, Ron Harabis and Andrew Sokolowsky.Pictured in front row from l-r are: Craig Robinson, David Rosengrants and Minnie’s employee Leroy.Also participating but pictured were Richard Fleming, Jim Klingele and Jim Rizzo.
