With many families feeling the pinch this year due to high food costs, Marymound has opened a community pantry in Thompson.

 

Executive Director Nancy Parker says food insecurity is an ongoing issue in the north, and hopes the community pantry can ease some of that burden for northern families during the holiday season and beyond.

 

Thompson’s program coordinator Penny Brenton adds with the recent loss of the Salvation Army Food Bank, they hope they offer some assistance with addressing food insecurity.

 

Non-perishable food items, cleaning and baby supplies can be dropped off at 117-A Commercial Place during office hours.

 

People can also make a financial donation.
