Can you help?
Need for the new facility:
- Donations for materials
(tax deductible)
- Construction Volunteers |
For the past ten years there have
been various food programs to help those in need. The increased demand has
changed the environment. Our capacity has to expand to meet the need of the
community. Families
in need of assistance will have another place to find relief. The rise in
food need increased by 25% in 2008.
Partnering with "Preston
City
the Preston Community Food Pantry Inc." plans to construct a new building. It
will be located on the north side of the Preston Community Center, located
at 580 W. Oneida,
Preston,
Idaho. We
need donations to buy the building materials and supplies.
The
labor and man power will all be completed by volunteers from the community.
As a community we can do this
but we need your
help.
Every $1 counts.
