Why is it so important to support the Niles Family Services Food Pantry?

In our community there are many people, young, elderly and in-between, who do not have the resources to feed themselves or their families adequately. The Niles Family Services exists to aid those who need food, especially on an emergency basis. We want to make sure that every person has the food they need to sustain themselves.

Current Food Pantry Needs:

The highest priority need for donations to the food pantry right now are cleaning supplies. Also needed are paper plates, plastic utensils, and cups. If you prefer to donate food items, the most useful items are canned fruit, canned vegetables, tuna, cereals (individual sized), oatmeal, crackers, rice, peanut butter, jelly, Chef Boyardee cans, chili, and pasta sauce.
