Community Action Ready To Open Food Pantry Coop

Community Action has been in the planning stages for months and now they are ready to open and begin their food pantry coop.
 
Origininating in DeWitt County, Craig Farnham is going to lead the program. Thanks to the William Davenport Estate, Farnham explains residents can come in, provide help and earn credits to shop in their food pantry.
 
 
Katie Alexander with Community Action says they will continue to help those in an emergency situation but they will have guidelines for that. She explains the Community Action mission is to help break the cycle of poverty.
 
 
In preparation of the program starting up in September, Community Action indicates there are still some needs they have and they hope to get community support for those things according to Farnham.
 
 
Alexander notes the food pantry is hoping to provide other things besides non-perishables like eggs and cheese and meats.
 
 
The Community Action Food Pantry program will launch September 5, but anyone interested in getting more information or getting into the program can contact Community Action now.
 
Contact Craig Farnham at 217-732-2159 to get enrolled or get more information.
