 Can You Help Meet the Food Pantry's Current Needs?
In an effort to assist Habitat's homeowners during an economic hardship such as loss of job, reduction of hours, or an extended illness, Indian River Habitat for Humanity established an Emergency Food Pantry in December 2008. The Food Pantry exists to help homeowner's temporarily feed their families while in the midst of unexpected economic hardship. It has made the difference between going to bed hungry or having basic food items in the house while families are awaiting acceptance from other resources within Indian River County. Since inception, IRHFH's Food Pantry has provided emergency food for over 50 families.
The Food Pantry relies solely on the generosity of the Indian River County community. During the summer when the kids are home from school and our seasonal residents have flown north, the cupboards can be a bit bare. We are currently in great need of the following items:
     
Canned vegetables
Canned tomatoes
Juice
Boxed potatoes
Baked beans
Hot dogs
1-pound pkgs. of ground beef (we freeze it)
Peanut butter
Jelly
Sliced bread (we freeze it)
Rice
Spaghetti sauce
Spaghetti/pasta
Can you help? Food donations may be brought to our offices on US 1 just north of 45th Street.
