Do seasonal changes make a difference in client needs?
Yes. You may find it hard to believe that we give away more food from the pantry in the summer months. Children are not in school and do not receive cafeteria meals. This increased need for food may strain a family’s resources during the time that school is out. Those individuals who are on a fixed income will often come for help when cold weather sets in. In the late fall, we see families who need help filling their gas or oil tanks for the first time of the season.
