Little Falls church starts food pantry

From New Jeresy-

A room within St. Agnes Episcopal Church is stocked with canned soups, meats, fruits, and vegetables alongside cereals, pasta and pet food. It is the church's newly expanded food pantry and is open to anyone in need.

The church has always collected and distributed food for the needy, but several weeks ago they took it a step further and officially opened a food bank.

Patrick Keating, a warden on the church vestry who has been volunteering his time to organize the food bank, said they have seen an increasing number of people coming in with food emergencies, which was why the decided to expand the collection effort.

Walking through the food pantry, which consists of a large storage closet with a freshly painted red floor, Keating pointed toward the dozens of grocery bags, which he said are prepared with $35 to $40 worth of groceries each.
