If hunger doesn’t impact you personally, it may be easy to turn the other way and not think about this crisis. But the community where we work, live, and play is in need.
Solutions to end hunger require changes, changes that are not easily implemented. But today, we have a way to directly affect people’s lives, to help our neighbors in need. And that is a new home for the Dublin Food Pantry.
The number of families we are serving is growing exponentially, week after week. It saddens me to see the growing line of cars each week for grocery pickup. Nobody wants to be in this line, and in suburban Dublin many who are in the line never expected to be there.
Our new facility will allow us to expand our outreach, partner with other local nonprofit organizations to have resources in- house that are tailored to our neighbor's needs, grow fresh produce in-house through our garden, and allow our choice pantry to greatly expand.
