Mission Statement
Paul’s Pantry is a Christian ministry of charity and service, dedicated to providing food to those in need, hope to those in despair, and inspiration for others to follow. Paul’s Pantry is a volunteer based food pantry. Its major goal is to recover all unsaleable and surplus food items available from the community, and distribute that food directly to families and individuals in need.
About This Cause
Paul's Pantry was started as a result of a need to care for hungry people in the community who are unable to purchase enough food for their family as a result of their meager or no incomes. Paul's Pantry though, is more than just an emergency food pantry. Its goal is to provide a family with enough food every week, for as long as needed, so that they may use their food dollars for shelter, utilities and other necessities, and avoid becoming homeless. The pantry was founded in 1984 by the late Leo Frigo. Leo had retired as President of Frigo Cheese and wished to devote the remainder of his life to helping those in need. Leo realized that the amount of food being thrown away by business was shameful and that the unsaleable but edible food could be used to benefit the needy in our local community. The pantry receives no federal, state or local tax revenue, nor does it receive funding from Feeding America or United Way. It relies entirely on the community, a three way partnership made up of volunteer, food supplier, and donor.
