You may drop off pantry items at the meetings on Friday, November 21st.
Due to the loss of SNAP benefits earlier this month, many of our participants have struggled to access food and other items necessary to care for themselves and their families. So, the list this month is lengthy. We appreciate all of the support that Cypress continues to provide our pantry. Your donations help us to continue serving our households in a way that ensures they have the things they need. And your donations this month in particular will help us try to bridge the gap during this lapse in funding and resources.
