Hatboro Community Cupboard - July 13, 2025

June was another unusual month with considerable ups and downs with client visits. We served 318 families in June which is down from our May number of 385. We registered 10 new families during the month. Although our inventory is declining we were blessed with the news that we have been approved for a grant of $8500 from July 1 to December 31, 2025. It could not have come at a better time!



We want to give another huge thank you to Grocery Outlet for their continued support of our pantry. Their Independence from Hunger campaign began on June 24. We are assigned Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for pick ups of donations from their customers. These donations have really helped us to provide additional food items including snacks and beverages that we do not normally stock. They also fill the gap while we complete the paperwork required to begin using the grant funds.

We are extremely thankful for the support we receive from Redeemer and Advent. During our power outage Advent was able to take fifteen hams from our freezer to be used for their community dinners. Once the power was restored we began restocking with meats from other sources such as Garden of Health, Rolling Harvest and BCOC.

Although we have added two new drivers to the schedule we had one retire so the search continues for more volunteer drivers. As always, we are grateful for all of the support from our pantry partners, the congregation and the community.
