As the fall season approaches, the Galion Grace Brethren Church continues its mission of serving the community through the Gifts of Love Pantry. This vital resource for families in need is set to operate twice more in 2024, with distribution dates scheduled for September 18 and November 13. The pantry will be open from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM on both days.
The Gifts of Love Pantry not only meets the basic needs of families but also pays special attention to the youngest members of the community. A program specifically designed for children ensures that kids have the opportunity to choose items that are important to them. This thoughtful inclusion helps foster a sense of independence and care among the youth who visit the pantry.
Essential Items Available
Visitors to the pantry can expect to find a wide range of essential items, including laundry detergent, trash bags, Kleenex, toilet paper, multi-purpose cleaner, dish soap, shampoo, paper towels, hand soap, quart-size Ziploc bags, aluminum foil, band-aids, and lotion. These items, often taken for granted, are crucial for maintaining a clean and healthy household, especially for those facing financial hardships.
Supporting the Community
The Gifts of Love Pantry operates with support from the Community Foundation for Crawford County, Meijer-Ontario, and Walmart-Bucyrus. These partnerships are crucial in ensuring the pantry is stocked and able to meet the needs of the community.
