KENTWOOD, Mich. — If you want to do some good this winter, look no further than your local food pantry!
The City of Kentwood is in need of donations for their Little Food Pantry.
As inflation grows, so does the needs of people struggling to keep up.
Kentwood's pantries serve to give people a hand keeping food on the table.
“In the past, the Little Free Pantry has stayed stocked thanks to food drives and donations from our generous community,” Val Romeo, Director of Parks and Recreation told FOX 17. “We’re urging community members to donate a little earlier than normal this year. Whether it’s a handful of canned goods donated by an individual, an entire food drive put on by a local business or a financial contribution, any donation helps families in our community.”
