PAW PAW SERVICE LEAGUE presented Eleanor's Pantry with a check for $5,000 last month. Its generous gifts each year make a significant impact on the pantry's ability to replenish our inventory as we enter the busy Summer months. The league is very active in serving the Paw Paw community, and we're so thankful for your gift.

A huge THANK YOU to the National Letter Carriers Association and its partners for its annual efforts in bringing awareness to food insecurity and community needs.

Our local community carriers brought in an astounding 7,000+ pounds of non-perishable food items from our Lawton and Paw Paw community members.

We also recognize ALL of the pantry volunteers that assist in the behind-the-scene efforts to receive, sort, and organize the food donations over the course of several days.

A huge undertaking by our local letter carriers and our pantry volunteers, which is appreciated by so many pantry guests facing food insecurity.

The Specials Teams at Paw Paw Early Elementary and Later Elementary Schools proudly donated $2,000 to Eleanor’s Pantry, thanks to the incredible support from their POP fundraiser. Through the enthusiasm and generosity of students, families, and staff, the fundraiser was a huge success. This donation will help support local families in need, showing that even the smallest efforts can make a big impact when a community comes together.

Eleanor's Pantry is so appreciative of this generous donation. Our thanks to Jennifer Ayres and the Special Team members (pictured below as they present the donation to our Executive Director Sue Miller) and to all those who contributed to the fundraiser! You're absolutely amazing!
