We Serve
“If it wasn’t for the Franklin Food Pantry we basically would be short on food in our house for probably almost 2 weeks. The people here make you feel so comfortable and are so helpful. One day I will get back on my feet an hope to be able to be a volunteer. “
Have you ever thought what it would be like to look into your 5 year old’s eyes and see the sadness and pain of hunger ?
It’s probably easier not to think about but the reality is, that more and more people do not have the resources to adequately feed their family…yes…those innocent little eyes.
Consider that over the last 9 months one of a number of food pantries in Saratoga County, Franklin Community Center, provide over 62,400 meals to those in need in the Saratoga Community.
In the month of May, 656 cans of soup were given out. The Food Pantry served 5,200 customers in the last 9 months.
That’s only one of many food pantries in our Community.
Help us turn those sad little eyes into happy little ones.
