Food Pantry sees dramatic increase in need
Jackson Newspapers
In the midst of the COVID-19 health crisis, sometimes the most basic needs are forgotten. Feeding a family is more difficult at this time due to job loss, hour reduction, quarantining, or dealing directly with the virus.
Calvary United Methodist Church’s food pantry has seen that food need grow each month since March.
“In the month of November, we served 1,180 people from 407 families,” co-chair of the pantry Faye Milhoan said. “We’ve averaged 300 families per month since the pandemic began. People are truly in dire circumstances.”
Keeping the shelves stocked with needed items has become more of a challenge. Church members give financial assistance, along with a few area churches, and other groups.
