- Hall Twp. Food Pantry is a client-choice pantry (set-up like a grocery store) which enables clients to shop and select the food they want.
- It takes approximately 60 volunteers each week to operate the Pantry and additional volunteers to run the holiday food distributions.
- Out of respect, volunteers are asked to keep identities of clients confidential. We are here to welcome and serve, not to judge or gossip.
