Pantry
The
Food Pantry is Stewpot's mini-grocery store where carefully screened
applicants can receive an emergency four-day supply of food. Volunteers
from local congregations staff the pantry and the shelves are
kept stocked by food drives and by donations from supporters.
Volunteers sort, stock and bag groceries for each family who comes
to Stewpot for assistance.
