Donations of cash are used to purchase food gift certificates or turkeys and hams for the holidays. The pantry relies entirely on the generosity of the community to support the pantry and accepts all non-perishable food and personal care items. If you or your group are interested in making a contribution or in sponsoring a food drive, please call our office. We are currently assisting 42 households with groceries every month. Several excellent mental health and counseling services which the township contracts with are available to our residents.
Services range from alcohol and substance abuse to family counseling to psychiatric intervention.
Sliding scale fees make this assistance affordable for everyone. The township supervisor can advise you on the agencies and their locations. Donors' and recipients' names are not disclosed. Applications are available in early October. The program provides credits towards both electric and gas bills throughout the winter months.
