Officials with the Atlantic Food Pantry today (Wednesday), issued a heartfelt Thank You to the Atlantic Community and Cass County Area.  Their gratitude is for the enormous support shown by the City and County residents, businesses, clubs, churches, and out of town friends of Atlantic, during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Your response, they say, has been timely and generous and because of that we have been able to continue to provide needed assistance during this time of increased demand.

Since mid-March, the number of families and individuals served by the pantry every week has been consistently around 60% higher than usual. Because the pantry has now distributed the majority of food stored prior to this time, we are now purchasing most of the food every week and current costs are running a little more than twice normal. As you can see, your support is essential to our ability to continue providing food assistance in our area.

Again, thank you!

The Volunteers, Clients, and Board of the Atlantic Food Pantry
