Thanks to so many of you, funds are making their way to our community centre to help ensure food is available for those of our neighbours who may be finding that their money is not stretching as far as they would like. We have had generous donations from schools and businesses and this July St. James Anglican Church is going to donate the proceeds of their contribution to the Ranchlands Community Garage Sale to the Pantry.
We appreciate you all.
Every month, Ranchlands Food Pantry helps dozens of families put meals on the table—and the need keeps growing. Right now, our monthly donor base brings in $70 per month. It’s a wonderful start, but to meet the increasing demand, we need to grow that support to $200 per month.
That’s where we hope you will still come in.
Please consider becoming a monthly donor—not just a one-time giver, but someone who makes ongoing support part of their monthly routine. Even $10 or $15 a month makes a real difference when we all pitch in.
Why Monthly Giving Matters
Monthly giving allows us to:
• Stock shelves consistently, especially with those key food items needed for young children and our local seniors.
• Respond quickly when new families reach out in crisis.
• Plan for seasonal needs like school lunches, special meals, or other unexpected food needs.
It also cuts down on administrative costs, making your gift go further.
The Challenge: $80 More Per Month
We have made some headway in closing the gap, but we could go a bit further. Please consider helping us out to reach our $200 per month goal, we’re looking for:
• Eight people to give $10 a month
• Or four people to give $20 a month
• Or maybe you’re in a position to give more? $28.61 a month sponsors a whole hamper of staples for one of our local households.
Be Part of a Bigger Story
When you become a monthly donor, you’re not just giving food—you’re giving relief, dignity, and hope. You’re telling a family, “You’re not alone.”
