June 2024 Pantry Overview
Posted on 7-1-2024
This month of June 2024 C&MA (DS) supplied the pantry. We would like to thank them. We appreciate all the donations of food & money. Thank you so much.

- Aug - ALC (DS)
- Sept - UMC (IR)
- Oct - ST THOMAS (IR)

- Dec - C&MA (DS)
We are in partners with Feeding SD & a local farmer who is supplying produce to the pantry. Even tho our clients are only allowed the use of the pantry once a month … they can come in EVERY Tues for the produce. No limits. (within reason)
We occasionally have more left over so if you know of ANYONE WHO CAN USE THE PANTRY…. Direct them our way.
Please spread the word that by 4 o’clock each Tuesday, we would like to give away all the produce so we don’t have to throw it away so if you would like some veggies or know someone else who could use some, please stop by.
If you would like some veggies or know someone else who could use some, please stop by.
For everyone who donated this month, thank you for thinking of the pantry & all of the families that need the pantry. Groceries bought at Maynard’s for the pantry can be left at Maynard’s & we pick up on Tues. when we are open, or Patti Ward Slater has generously offered to be a drop off point for groceries for the food pantry as well. Patti has always been a huge supporter of the pantry & the families we serve.
If you prefer to give a monetary donation you can send it to
Kingsbury County Food Pantry 221 Calumet Ave SW PO Box 202 DeSmet SD 57231
Checks should be made out to Kingsbury County Food Pantry or KCFP… If you have a preference as to what you would like your donation to go to please just write it on the memo line. (ie: Families. Back Packs for the school children or whatever you like.)
