Carbonado Food Pantry

2025 Grant Recipient
We wanted to take a moment to share our appreciation here at the Carbonado Food Pantry for the funding we received from this foundation in 2025.  

To say that the funds we received have been a blessing to our community is an understatement.  As we all know the food received from our local food banks has seasons of abundance and seasons of barely scraping by.  We also never know what random type of food we will be getting each week.

Here at Carbonado we have been able to use the funds to keep our shelves filled every week with the regular household staples, regardless of which season we are experiencing.  We pride ourselves on being extremely diligent in shopping only items that go on sale and I spend a lot of time on comparison shopping to ensure we are paying the lowest prices for the items we are purchasing so we can stretch the funds as far as possible.  Without these funds, I have no doubt we would not have been able to serve our community at the same level and capacity as we did.

P.S.  Another exciting note to mention is we were able to purchase a much needed brand new freezer for the pantry.

Thank you all again for entrusting us with the funds to make this past year a successful experience for my team and the families we serve.
