This is a volunteer ministry of the churches in the area and offers clothing and household goods at very little cost. Always needed are the basics, but this time of year, snow gear for children, warm coats, thermal underwear, boots, socks, hats and mittens are especially needed. Donations of bedding, towels and household needs are welcome and are available for emergency dispensing in the event of fire or extreme need.
The Upper Room is open Wednesday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Contact Elinor Savage in Island Falls and Ina Pratt in Sherman for further information.
Agape Food Pantry is a local pantry and has been part of our communities for more than 20 years. Donations of food commodities are very welcome at any time, to feed our own area people. Cash donations allow purchase of foods not in plentiful supply.
The Pantry is not affiliated with larger organizations in The County or the state, so does not receive truckloads of foodstuffs, but relies on the generous giving of area residents. During the holidays the obvious donations to build a holiday meal are very welcome, but basic foods are always needed.
For information call 463-2449.
