Walmart is a company that values making a difference in the communities where their stores are located. Each year, stores award local grants to address the unique needs of communities where they operate. GO Pantry has been fortunate to have received several grants from Walmart, which have been used to purchase food for our weekend GO Bags and GO Boxes for local students in need.

Not only does Walmart support GO Pantry financially, executives and team members from local stores have volunteered in the warehouse, allowing them the opportunity to see where their grant money is being used.

Thank you, Walmart, for having a heart for GO Pantry and for our mission to help kids in our area who are experiencing food insecurity.

At GO Pantry, we truly believe that God puts the right people in our lives at just the right time. When he sent Chris Dove, owner of Complete Forklift Repair, our way, we were blessed a thousand times over!

Through another one of our amazing supporters, Chris found out that we needed a forklift to manage the growing inventory needed to continue feeding local students in our area who were experiencing food insecurity. When Chris heard about our mission, he GAVE us a forklift and hasn’t stopped giving ever since. Complete Forklift Repair donates financially, provides service and repair to our current forklift, and is upgrading our current model to a NEW FORKLIFT soon!

Chris and his family are all faithful and generous supporters of GO Pantry. They have participated in food drives and recently attended our very first Party for a Purpose. Chris won the Heads or Tails game at our event and generously donated his winnings back to GO Pantry.

You are truly a blessing to GO Pantry and to the kids we serve.
We can’t thank you all enough for blessing us with your kind and giving hearts!

Dollar General has a long history of serving their community. At the core of their company is The Dollar General Literacy Foundation. It helps individuals of all ages pursue their educational goals by investing in literacy programs that help students learn to read, prepare for the high school equivalency test or learn English. In addition, Dollar General realizes the need to serve children who may be experiencing food insecurity, as being well nourished is a key component to academic success.

The founder of Dollar General was raised in a home where he himself experienced food insecurity. Amazingly, with only a fourth grade level education, he started the company that grew into the multi-million dollar organization that Dollar General is today.

Recently, Dollar General Corporate gave the Walton Distribution Center a $10,000 Employee Choice Award to donate to a local charity. Employees nominated and then selected the charity that would receive the donation.

Reshaun Patterson, Human Resource Generalist at the Dollar General Distribution Center in Walton says, “One of our core values is serving others. GO Pantry’s values align with ours, which is why we chose GO Pantry to receive the award”. We are beyond grateful to be chosen as the recipient of this award! We can’t thank Dollar General enough for your support! Thank you for having a heart for GO Pantry and our mission to help children in our area who are experiencing food insecurity.
