As those of you who are local to Clinton probably know, the Open Cupboard Food Pantry & Thrift Shop suffered a devistating fire on Sunday night!
Last year at my daughter’s school the student council ran a food drive for the pantry, and Alanna and I were one of the student/parents to help drop off the donations. Sue, the manager of the pantry gave us all a tour of the facility and explained how many people they help. It was really amazing! Sue had everything SO ORGANIZED and ready for the community members in need! This past November/December The Healing Journey also ran a food drive, and my clients and friends were very generous! The news of the fire to the food pantry and thrift shop is really a loss to the community!!
Below is a message from the pantry, and If you’d like to help, here is the link to donate!

Message: As many of you are aware, there was a devastating fire at Open Cupboard Food Pantry & Thrift Shop last night, February 25th. The shop and pantry were both destroyed. Our number one priority is to assist our pantry clients, and we will be utilizing the Washington Basket to do this moving forward.
Our community has been so wonderful in asking how they can assist us in this challenging time. Because we do not yet have storage facilities for food, right now we are asking for monetary donations or Shop Rite gift cards. If you would like to donate, simply click the "How to Donate" tab above and it will take you to our donation page where you can use PayPal to assist us as we rebuild. Any Shop Rite gift cards can be sent to our PO box.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any help you are able to give us as we work to rebuild and continue on our mission of Neighbors Helping Neighbors.
Thank you!
