In order to assist Marshall County residents who face food insecurity, the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce teamed up with the Bread of Life Community Food Pantry for a donation drive during the month of November.
Chamber representatives thanked all the individuals who donated items throughout the month. Though November is now officially over, items can still be dropped off at the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce office during business hours today.
Donations can also be dropped off at Bread of Life, regardless of the time of year. Officials at Bread of Life report that they’re running low on canned goods at the moment and that they also accept health and hygiene products as well as monetary donations.
The Pantry distributes the donations to those in need every week on Mondays from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. and on Wednesdays and Fridays from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.
If you have any questions about making a donation, volunteering for the organization or receiving assistance, contact the Bread of Life Community Food Pantry at 574-936-1006.
