Pulaski County Food Pantry Stocked With Meats, Needs Personal Items

Food Pantry

Although a commodities truck delivery is coming next week, the Pulaski County Human Service’s Food Pantry is in need of items that cannot be purchased with food stamps.

The pantry is in need of personal items, as well as shampoo, toiletries, childrens’ diapers, and laundry detergent, as well as a number of other items. According to Midge Mendiola of the pantry, they are stocked with meats and other food–though the organization has seen an increase in demand due to unemployment and the economy. With rising food prices, Mendiola explained, food stamps are being stretched thin.

The Pulaski County Human Services Food Pantry serves approximately 150-200 families each month, and donations are always accepted. For more information, you can reach Pulaski County Human Services at (574) 946-6500.
