A Diabete...

For a food pantry where they give what they have you use it and watch your portions. Eating is better then going hungry.

@Jolyne I think most people love carbs. I miss my pasta but it is what it is. Drinking coffee has helped me. With caffeine and without. For me there's no options. If I don't want my body to betray me I need to be strict with myself. Some people can be moderate and that's the best way to go I think but I cannot and I've learned this over and over. Like Lays potato chips I can't have just one.

Our Baptist church houses the Pitman food pantry. It is open for 2 hours 3 days a week. They prepare and give away 2 large bags of groceries to families every week. It serves at least 150 families a week.

Our church maintains a blessing box near the sidewalk. It is stocked every day. It says if you need a meal take it. If you have extra shelf stable foods leave it.

We also prepare and give away 300... 5-7 course meals 2 Mondays a month to feed families. Sign up for each of them online and say how many you are feeding. Pick them up between 4-6:30 pm

The Catholic Church in town has a food pantry 1 day a week by appointment.

The Presbyterian church has a dinner for all who come 1 Wednesday a month.

The Methodist Church hosts a Senior Luncheon every week.

There are 2 boxes outside of people's homes, like the little library boxes that house food.

Then there is the Pitman Grove. In the center of the clock layout of sidewalks is a table that people staff to distribute produce that gardeners bring.

We also give away our gardens bounty to family, people walking the sidewalks, neighbors, and delivery people.

We also support 4 families every month with groceries . Usually after the 20th of the month when their cupboards are bare.

Nobody needs to go hungry in our community.
