Springs Firehouse

---

Thank you to our extraordinary community for coming out in support of the Springs Food Pantry. We loved being able to gather with you at the Springs Firehouse to crown our 2024 People's Choice Award Winner, Chef (and Springs Food Pantry Volunteer) Derek Freedman! With your help, we raised over $15,000!

Housing costs, rising fuel and utility expenses, combined with inflationary food costs, are forcing more and more of our neighbors to look to us for assistance. Currently, we feed over 225 families every Wednesday and our weekly food distribution expenses now exceed $20,000. Your generosity and commitment make a difference.
