Story
Thank you for wanting to make a difference by hosting a holiday drive for DMARC. Your efforts will spread some holiday cheer! Its a sad fact that one in seven in our community faces food insecurity and last year nearly 20% of all visits to the DMARC Food Pantry Network occurred in November and December.
THREE-DAY SUPPLY OF FOOD FOR $6
Each food pantry visitor receives 12 food items, including fresh and canned fruits and vegetables, canned chicken, pasta and pasta sauce, peanut butter, cereal, and soup.
