Stock the Shelves

Prices are still up everywhere, and for so many items – especially food.  While the demand for food has grown dramatically, food donations and food rescue have actually decreased because the prices of groceries have increased so much.

Over the last two years since June of 2021, the number of households visiting PRC for food has more than doubled!

The cost for staples like tuna has increased 60% since summer of 2021.

 

 

The cost of peanut butter has increased a whopping 80% since summer of 2021.

 

Between the higher food prices and the increasing number of people visiting PRC, our overall costs continue to rise.

Every time a neighbor visits PRC, they can save as much as $170 on their groceries, which they can use to pay for other household needs.

We need your help to Stock the Shelves at the PRC food pantries! 

Here is how you can help Stock the Shelves:

  • Donate healthy food, or other household items. Click here to see the list of our most needed items in the food pantry. Visit PRC wish list links for Amazon, Target and Walmart to shop online and have items delivered directly to PRC.
  • Host a food drive with your neighbors, place of worship, or where you work. These tools can help.
  • Connect us to additional food sources, like manufacturers, retailers, or wholesalers.
  • Make a monetary donation. Click here.

Together, we can make sure that everyone who visits PRC has what they need to take care of themselves and their families.
