FOOD PANTRY IN ACTION
TEENS JOIN WITH MET COUNCIL
Sheltering in place has not stopped the Teen Food Pantry from fulfilling its mission. PAS teens continue to order hundreds of pounds of food to be picked up by Met Council each week in lieu of the regular Food Pantry distribution system. We give a big thumbs up to the Food Pantry leadership and the Facilities staff for keeping up this amazing work in this time of great need!
