Food pantry cupboards in need of supplies

The Basin Area Food Pantry’s cupboards are running low on food and supplies to help those experiencing food insecurity.  
Located inside the Basin Area Chamber, the pantry is designed to help people who have a short-term need. Non-perishable food items, toilet paper and paper towels are needed. Meat would also be appreciated
Charlene Anderson, one of the volunteers who runs the food pantry, said demand for food has increased since the food distribution at the fairgrounds stopped. That was a Wyoming Food Bank outreach program.  The local volunteer organizers retired.
The food pantry also distributes Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. Monetary donations will be used to purchase turkeys and hams for the baskets as well as fresh food items such as eggs and milk as needed.
