Watertown Food Pantry
PROGRAM: We provide needy households with basic food items. As the number of adults and children in the household increases, the number of food items increases. The amount of meat a family receives also increases. In addition to these basic food items, we have a ‘free’ wall of miscellaneous food items. Families may take anywhere from 4 to 8 items; and these items are over and beyond their normal allotment. When we have LOTS of food in stock, we are even more generous in food distribution. It’s better to have it distributed to those in need than throw it away because it is past the expiration date. We give each family a “Milk Voucher” for Piggly Wiggly, which is good for one free gallon of milk. The amount we pay each month has substantially decreased due to the fundraising efforts at our local Piggly Wiggly store. In the waiting room, there is a corner cabinet stocked with donated books for children of all ages. Each child may pick out and take home one book each time they come to the pantry. These books come from a variety of sources........rummage sales, library book sales, fundraising events, just to name a few.
