“I’m not surprised that so many people have already registered for a basket this year,” Food Pantry Manager Francesca Frisque said. “Families’ income just doesn’t stretch as far as it used to, and for many, a holiday meal isn’t in the budget this year.”

And WHY would THAT BE, Francesca? There NEVER seems to be any cause and effect with those that give away the foodstuffs.

How about this for your phone answering machine?

Curious if others would share their local food pantry/holiday give-away stories?

We can’t be the only ones.

Our Food Pantry (for a SMALL county of 20K people and a LOT of cows) has seen a HUGE uptick in use this past year.
