“I was hungry and you gave me something to eat.”

We need your help. Here’s why. Since school started in September, we have seen a significant increase in the number of requests for emergency food support. Government assistance programs available during COVID has stopped. SNAP benefits recently decreased support. Decreasing resources coupled with increasing grocery prices and inflationary pressure have put more families in crisis.

2023 Party for a Purpose

What. A. Party!

We had a blast at our first-ever GO Pantry Party for a Purpose, and we hope all our guests did too! We are so grateful to everyone who made this event possible. Thank you to our incredible sponsors who so generously invested in the event and GO Pantry. We applaud you for caring so deeply about our community and the children who benefit from our services!

We are so thankful for all the community support that fueled GO Pantry’s inaugural Party for a Purpose. More kids than ever are asking GO Pantry for help. Given the increased number of kids needing help and all of the wonderful support, we will likely make this an annual event. So, mark your calendars for next August, invite your friends, and let’s plan to make next year’s Party for a Purpose even bigger and better. Together we are making a difference in the lives of local kids!
