Overview

Mission

Eleanors pantry provides food and personal care items for those in need in the paw paw and lawton, Michigan area.

What it reported doing in 2024

Eleanor's pantry receives monetary and product donations and distributes food and personal care items to increase food security in the paw paw, mi and lawton, mi areas. Clients self-declare their need and can visit the pantry once each month or twice when extra food is needed. During each visit, clients can choose from a variety of items apportioned by household size. The amount of food shared at each visit is intended to be an emergency 3-day supply. During the fiscal year, approximately 1,000 households representing over 10,000 people were served by the pantry. There were 3,880 visits to the pantry by households during the year. Food products providing 60,000+ meals to seniors, adults and children were distributed to these households.
