Financially
Each week, we serve around 250 families through our food pantry. These are parents, children, seniors, and individuals who are working hard but still struggling to make ends meet. For many, this support means the difference between uncertainty and a reliable meal.
Your financial gift makes this work possible. While food donations are important, they are not always enough to meet growing need. Monetary contributions allow us to buy essential items in bulk at lower costs, making your dollar go further and helping cover the operational expenses that keep our pantry running.
As a faith-based organization, we are committed to serving with compassion, dignity, and hope while helping neighbors move toward long-term stability.
When you give, you are not just providing food. You are offering relief, encouragement, and hope to families in our community.
In celebration of our 30th birthday in 2025, we created a legacy fund called “Friends of the Co-Op”. The fund will be used to make sure we are here taking care of our neighbors for years to come. Please mark your donations with “Friends of the Co-Op” or “Legacy fund” to be credited to this account.
Thinking about donating stock, other assets, or have questions about your donation please contact Paula at p.anderson@lawrencevilleco-op.org.
