Thanks for your continued support Mr. Mike Janok! We appreciate all donations to our pantry.Good morning Facebook world!As many of you have come to know this time of year, my family does food pantry donation gathering for the month of November for YouthBuild Louisville. I’m a current board member and big time advocate for the organization. YouthBuild serves young adults ages 18-24 in the Smoketown neighborhood by providing services in education, vocational training, community service, case management, job placement, and post graduate support.Unfortunately many of the students also experience some level of homelessness and food insecurity. Many of them also have young families they support.So the food pantry is available to them to help out when needed. Items of great need right now are:- Breakfast/granola bars- Mac n cheese bowls- Flip top canned soups (think microwaveable cups)- Baby food- Pasta and rice meals (think microwaveable pouches or cups)- Grab and go snack packs- Packs of crackersFriends and family have always been generous with donations and we greatly appreciate that! As you go to the grocery store over the next few weeks, please consider grabbing even just one item for the food pantry while you’re there. We are happy to coordinate getting it from you!Thanks in advance!(Picture of a bird on my window because it’s fun!) ... See MoreSee Less
